Recently I went to West Virginia on a Habitat for Humanity with my youth group. We drove from St. Paul to Ohio the first day and when it got late we went to ruby tuesdays (restraunt). Then after that we went to the hotel. The next morning we all got up and ate a little breakfast (mainly donuts and coffee). We got drivng and in the afternoon we were in West Virginia. We stopped in a little town at the base of the mountains. We ate at a little restraunt and then drove up the mountain. After about 2-3 hours we made it to Almost Heaven (the habitat place). On Sunday we had half a day off, so we played ultimate frisbee and Mafia. We went to bed around 11:00 pm.
On Monday, we woke up at 7:00 AM and at about 9:00 am we drove off to our habitat site. We worked on a porch all day. We didn't make much progress but it was only the first day. We played ultimate frisbee and then we had dinner. We played hearts for a long time. We went to bed around 11:00 pm.

After the ceremony we had cake and pop. We then helped them put gravel in there driveway. We then went over to the nelson-simmons house where we had been working on the porch and kept working but only for about an hour. Then we had the rest of the day off and we played volleyball and ultimate frisbee and hearts and barbie uno. We had dinner and played more. We went to bed around 11:00 pm.
