We
came back into town for 1 day to pick up our families. We are ready to get up
the mountain! |
|
Sarah
has to sit in the front seat – she gets car sick otherwise! |
|
|
|
Uh-oh!
It's raining hard – the highway is okay, but the dirt road up the mountain is
going to be muddy! |
|
On
the top left of this picture the road leads up to the mountains. We were
delayed for 6 hours while we watched our friends through binoculars get stuck
in the mud on the mountain road up the hill! |
|
|
|
We
finally made it up the hill to our house! We had to leave our trailer at the
bottom, though because of the mud! |
|
First
thing we did was finish making the kids' bunk bed. Are you wondering how
Isaac is going to get to the top? Jump carefully, Isaac! |
|
|
|
Okay,
not really! Ike has a ladder, and Abby is happy to have a bed! Abby and Sarah
shared beds. |
|
The
next thing to make – a pantry! Old sticks, wooden planks, a saw, hammer, and
nails will do the job! |
|
|
|
To
make it a home – a carpet so we can relax and play games on the floor, and
shower curtains to close off the rooms at night! |
|
Tree
falling class! Don't worry, tree huggers! We were only allowed to cut down
already dead trees! |
|
|
|
We
need somewhere to eat besides the floor! Make a kitchen table! The benches
and table top were the planks we cut from the tree chopped down! |
|
Ginny
will be happy when my tools are off the floor! So, time to make another set
of shelves! By the way, that is our bed on the right. |
|
|
|
We
are now a happy family eating dinner in our plastic house on our homemade
kitchen table! |
|
It
is hard to see, but this is our other kitchen counter, besides the one next
to the sink. |
|
|
|
A
little decorating, and we have a happy, homey finished kitchen! |
|
We
are now going to see some friends at our little mountain tribal village! It
really reminded me of some of the villages we went to in Thailand! |
|
|
|
A
campfire with friends, and the kids enjoyed every kid's favorite – roasted
marshmallows! |
|
A
little helper came with me to inspect the water tank! |
