Week 3: bummerrrrr

Hello friends and family!

So this week wasn't exactly the best week we've ever had treeplanting. It did go by pretty quickly which was super duper nice but we seemed to all have a slower week.
A lot of the days everyone on the crew had to carry in trays, and 4 out of 5 days looked like they were going to be finishing days (meaning we finish up a site) but then turned out not to be. That was pretty unfortunate because it just meant we didn't really push ourselves to get good numbers because we thought we were finishing up. All in all it was a messed up week with only one really good day slapped in the middle.

Wednesday was fun. Nick and I were able to get another 10 that day and it was beautiful out! Unfortunately the bugs have been out and were pretty terrible that day but the whole crew decided to go for a short (and freezing) dip in a nearby lake at the end of the day!

Jake and Aly are still in Panama and will be home on Tuesday! It actually felt more like tree-planting without them here just because that is how it was last year! We do miss them a bunch though. We do so much more with them here! Last weekend we sat on our butts the whole time and watched a lot of cash cab. This weekend we managed to finally get out with the crew and have a potluck. It was preeeeetty fun! We had also planned on seeing Pirates of the Caribbean sometime this weekend but I guess the theater is so small that they aren't getting it for a while! Pretty unfortunate.

Still not too much has happened, we did see a baby bunny out on the plot though! Very cute!
We're apparently moving to a new site soon too, but it apparently isn't the greatest land wise.. not looking forward to it.
We're hoping this week will pass quickly again and we'll be able to have yet another uneventful weekend. Essentially we're holding out for the weekend when Nick's dad is going to come down and hangout! His visit will not only mark Nick's birthday and be super fun, but it's also the half way point of the expected season! It's hard to believe its only two weeks away!

We miss you all but we will be home sooner than you know!
Love,
Nick and Heather
