Slip N' Slide

       Last Friday was probably my most fun day working at PTM.  I started the day off by setting up the slip n’ slide and filling a multitude of water balloons. After everything was ready, I headed over to PTM for Summer SaLT. Summer SaLT started the day with a trip to Hadley Park in order for the kids to take pictures with their disposable cameras.  A frequent volunteer, Nan, has been teaching the kids about photography the last couple of weeks and the kids will eventually make a collage using the pictures that they took at Hadley Park.  One kid named Ladarius—pictured above—actually threw away his camera after taking all twenty-seven pictures!  We then traveled to the fields by the Calvin House which is the center where the Junior High meets during the summer.  It features a game room, a recording studio, basketball area, and plenty of space for gatherings.  At the Calvin House, both Summer SaLT and the Junior High enjoyed the slip n’ slide and water balloon fights especially due to the rain. For anyone who has volunteered at PTM one could most likely guess who the first person down the slip n’ slide—it was the man, the myth, the legend, Chan himself.  There was even a boy and a girl time trial at the end which I won in the boys division.  After everyone was down sliding and throwing water balloons, we headed inside to have ice cream. It was a great way to end a great week.
