WHERE MY PARTY PEOPLE AT??
sorry it's been so long since we've updated! so much has happened since we updated last meaning I will probably forget to mention half of it since there is so much to talk about!
FIRST OFF
- JAKE AND ALY ARE GONE! :'( they left us on Friday and headed back to Ontario to go to camp. We miss them very much already and can't wait to visit them!
we did manage to go out dancing with them before they left though and it was very fun! Their whole crew went back to Antigonish for the weekend so they were 2 of the only ones from the other crew left so they came out with ours and planted for the day on one of our sites.
It was very fun to have them around and I can't believe they're already gone.
It's kind of upsetting that they're gone to camp as well because our work is ending this week! we figured on having 9-10 weeks of work and so far we're only getting about 8ish. Tomorrow is supposed to be our last day of planting unless we can manage to get ourselves onto another crew for the next couple days and finish instead on Thursday. We're also hoping to get some work in the nursery for a couple weeks but we won't know if it's possible until around Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully we can or else we'll have to sit around Antigonish for 3 weeks waiting for the fam to road trip up here, or we'll have to catch a plane home early! don't get your hopes up though we don't know whats going to happen!
Since we've been in Fredricton we've started like 5 different sites and have only finished 2 of them. That means tomorrow is a day of running around to 3 unfinished sites pounding in trees as hard as we can! It should be fun though since it is our crews last day together- hopefully we can grab some good pictures! Today we had a one day site that we managed to close up with almost the perfect amount of trees! It was AWESOME! It felt really good to be able to complete it as a crew together. plus it was some of the best land we've had all season! (finally...) There were NO rocks! it was beautiful. The ground just closed up around the trees wonderfully.
So far Fredricton has been super cool since all the planters are together we've managed to just hangout alot and get to know everyone really well. We've done some pretty fun stuff actually... like last night a bunch of us went out and played volleyball at some sand courts. It was one of the best nights of this summer so far! It's also nice to have some girls up here at the hostel! I was the only one for about a week until Aly came up with a couple other girls on her crew. We were then joined by a couple more last week and it is safe to say they're all awesome! One of the girls has a bunch of friendship bracelet materials and I've got one started that I'm pretty excited about. A bunch of us also made it out to a really nice lake yesterday and although it was pretty gloomy and the water was cold, Nick made it in the water with a bunch of other people while I took a nap on a towel. All in all Freddy has been very fun and we're sad to be leaving so soon! Although not so sad to be able to sleep in!
One last exciting thing to mention! This Saturday we went out planting and the night before Nick, Aaron and myself managed to get the majority of the crew hyped up to plant until 2 instead of 12. Once we got out there however, it was rainy and terrible outside and a huge thunderstorm broke out. Planting in thunder and lightning... a tad scary... it was pretty funny watching people running out of the plot though! Luckily no one got hurt and we managed to get a couple trays in in between the lightning storms... we then finished the trays on that site and even though it was only 11:30 and were supposed to move to another site, we gave up and went home. So much for planting until 2! lol everyone was pretty happy about not having to plant in the storm though.
ALSO we finally got our sweet pub crawl treeplanting shirts! THEY ARE SO SICK. we'll post pictures of them after the pub crawl happening on saturday? potentially? keep an eye out!
Anyways, it's getting late and tomorrow is a big day for our crew! Lot's of photoshoots and not so many trees to plant..
Good night everyone!
Miss you all!
Nick and Heather
