Have you ever...






















Day 2…………
0600 hrs CST – after slumbering in our double bed, we awaken to the sound of Sir Evan Bean’s bellowing.

0630 hrs CST – Sir Evan Bean embarks into the 2 x 5 ft. ceramic wash basin. After exploring the various bottles of shampoo and bars of hotel-soap, he finds the bubble bath. Evan proceeds to use waaaayyy too much bubble concoction in his monthly bath. Have you ever seen a person with no bubbles on their face? Well he looked nothing like that….he had bubbles on his face.

0730 hrs CST – We continue to the lobby where the “Continental Breakfast” was being served. However, this “Continental Breakfast” seemed more like a “Small Village Breakfast”. How much orange juice was drunk by Sir Evan, King Jake, Court Jester Tyler, and Lord Jon? The answer is: one gallon – four quarts = 0.

0830 hrs CST – We arrive at the St. Bernard Parish job orientation center. After an empowering pep-talk speech, we board the bus and get to work. Have you ever been frozen solid? This was nothing like that, it was hot x 10 / 2 +….. it doesn’t matter because it was excruciatingly hot.

1000 hrs CST – While Team 1 does work on a house, Team 2 gets lost but eventually arrives on the battle field in a battle that must be won against Hurricane Katrina. Have you ever been in the center of the sun? That is exactly what the heat felt like today.

1230 hrs CST – Team 1 decides to take a 1 hour lunch. Group 2 quickly eats lunch and gets back to work. Have you ever eaten lunch? Well we certainly feasted like champion home builders.

1600 hrs CST – Team 2 begins cleanup. Team 1 quit work early to play a ninja game, and Team 2 accomplished much more than Team 1.

1730 hrs CST – The bus navigator fell asleep on the job and we got lost in the complex labyrinth of streets. Soon we arrived at our destination: Mardi Gras World. The trip was very educational and we enjoyed walking on a tour through the variety of props. Soon after, we journeyed back to our base camp to freshen up.

2030 hrs CST – after making an excessive amount of U turns (editor note: these are legal in New Orleans), we finally arrived at the Hard Rock Café where we had the man with the bandanna as our waiter. We bought lots of cool souvenirs and quickly hurried home to go swimming…last one is a swamp gator!
