Day one in the books

Talk about an awesome day!

We can't stop talking about all the cool experiences we've already had, and it's only the first day! We have already met so many interesting people, including another volunteer group that was here for a day from Iraq.

We split up into groups, with most of us weeding the Harvest Farm organic garden, which was in real need of some TLC. Others helped prepare lunch and dinner in the kitchen, and a group of five went to the barn to clean out the cow stalls (a smelly job, to be sure!).

We also celebrated Shawna's 18th birthday, in the rain, with Dilly Bars from the Ft. Collins Dairy Queen!

The group from Iraq will not be here tomorrow, so there will be more for us to do. Here are some pictures from today's work:
