Leaving now for the annual beach cleanup with my youth.

10:24 am

Wow! Rick & Joey Bibby and Will came!

1:58 pm

We have just spent 1.5 hours combing across the beach, picking up bits of trash. Mostly plastic and rope and some tar. Jack and I were paired; we found five glo-sticks, and a length of rope nearly 50 feet long. Jamie jumped rope as Jack and I swung the rope as Will chanted "Cinderella, dressed in yella, went upstairs to kiss her fella, made a mistake and kissed a snake, how many doctors will it take... one two three...."

We saw a shark about 18 inches long and slightly dead.

We're going back to the front area now.

2:30

I just got hollered at for climbing the relatively easily climbable wall around the main office of Galveston Island State Park. Pooh. Good thing is that I had made it completely to the top of the wall, so I know I could have gotten on top.

4:34 pm

Now we're all the way back at the church, and food is being prepared by some adult volunteers.

Amy, Susie and I in swimsuitswater-hosed off outside. Both of them squirted water up their nose while rinsing off their heads. Silly silly.

I lay face down in the sun a bit to let my trunks dry while they changed out of swimsuit into normal clothes. Suddenly I heard them yelling, "Ahh!! Get out! Girls locker room! Can't you tell???"

Poor Rick was slightly traumatized and ran off..

I just gave to Rick the big Amy-tooth-shaped tile that Jack and I found on the beach. It looks like a big shard of a roof tile, somewhat polished by the sand and sea.

James and Grant guessed I was 42 years old when I was wearing my hat. And when it's off, they guessed I am 22 years old.

The ride home was long... 60 minutes plus..

Food now.

Dr John Spear (sp) talking now about racism. We'll be watching a video in a moment.

Oh, for our social action, we'll be volunteering at a Special Olympics. Awesome!

Arthur showed us a new game from Brazil, two players each try to hit the feet of the other player with socks. Not throwing, but a sock balled up in a sock and swing socks to try and hit the other. Fun game. He said in Brazil it's played with sticks. Ouch!

Joey tried a bit to get the answer to the Infinite Questions we are playing for the pastsome months.
