This week is our busiest of the summer. On top of the normal summer programs, the week of the 4th of July we put on a cutie contest, parade, and the firecracker 5k. Monday morning was like normal I set up all the tables, chairs and got the video ready for the seniors and then started their video at 930am. Then I went and got all the supplies needed for the classes and explained to the instructors how today and this week was going to work out. This week we had preschool art of Wild Wild West. During this week the kids made their own sheriff badges, they made a horse out of a paper plate, and also made a vest out of a paper bag. Also this week was peewee t-ball, youth volleyball, fishing, and Pinteresting. I covered the office with Holly and help answer phone calls, and start making a list of everything we had to get done this week. In the afternoon I called different businesses around Winona and asked if they would like to donate door prizes for the Firecracker 5k again this year. Almost everyone said they would love to donate something for the 5k. For example different businesses would donate gift cards, samples of a product, or an item from their store. Tuesday morning I once again got the crafts ready for the day. Since it was Tuesday morning it was running club day. So today I took the kids through the dirt trails; they absolutely love going through the dirt trails because there is a creek that we have to cross, but the only way to cross is to walk across a fallen tree, also my running club kids love to take new paths and find other ways out of the trial. By the time they asked me to take a new path it was already time to head back so I promised them that we would go “exploring” on Thursday morning. Once I got back from running club I checked on all the other programs to make sure they were going smoothly, and I changed the marque sign for Free Family Fun Winona Lake Fireworks. Also I went up the hill to the gas station and stocked up on bait for the week for our fishing class. We usually provide the poles for fishing, but sometimes kids like to bring their own poles. This is another class that we really stress about safety. Well today one kid accidently stuck a duck and we had to cut the fishing hook out of him. The kid felt terrible bout getting the duck, but we explained to him that accidents happen and we all need to be a little bit more careful.
