fun days

So work at the ranch is pretty fun. Today we learned how to set up the inflatables...which means we needed to test them and make sure they were bouncy enough. We also got trained on the giant swing...which means we needed take turns swinging so that the others could get practice in hook up. Then we lead a group of Spanish speaking people at the zip line. So of course that means I had to ride down to the end after walking the group up... to save time and energy. PS: I spoke through an interpreter for the first time today... it's awkward trying to tell people how to put on a harness when you don't speak the same language.

Funny sayings:

Neighbors to the ranch were doing a little target practice today. So while we were in the woods at the giant swing we would hear their random bursts of gun fire. While we were pulling Beth up on the giant swing...
Matt: Wow, that's a big one. ohhh not you Beth... I meant the gunfire.

Ok so after we were working really hard on the set up and "safety checking" of the inflatables Matt tells us all to get in the truck because we are going to get a drink before we go to the giant swing. Then instead of taking us to the kitchen, he takes us to his house. While we are all getting out of the truck he runs inside. We go inside and Michaele, his wife, says as she pulls drinks out of the fridge...
Michaele: So Matt riped his pants huh?
Interns: Really...... hummm..... nope he didn't share that with us... ohhh is that why we are here?
Matt received much ridicule for this one.

Matt; What are you all going to do tonight?
Interns: Get into trouble... We are going to break rule #1.
Michaele: What is rule #1?
Interns: Leave the bison alone.
Michaele: ohhh, They don't really come to the fence anyway. Well, they will if you have corn.
Interns: ohhhh... so we need corn....

Thanks Michaele! You were a wealth of information today!
