Hi 3K,

I heard there was a birthday party this weekend but it was a bit early. I guess Lucas and I won't be celebrating our birthdays together if he has already celebrated his. How are the soccer and tee ball/little league games going? Did you guys have a better soccer game this weekend? I went home for 24 hours to visit my family this weekend. I have class on Saturdays too so I can't leave very early. I do have some new pictures of what I have been doing so I will share them with you today. I hope you all had a great time on the field trip. Let me know how that show went.

These pictures aren't in the order I want them but you will get the idea. My friend Ruth and I had to put the ladder up by working together and then our team of 4 had to climb it with a tool in one hand. I went first so I had to open up the "window" where we had to climb in. It was fun. They had real fires in the building at the time when I was climbing in but they weren't on the same floor I was on. Once our team all got up to the second floor, we all had to come back down the ladder again. It was a lot harder to come out because the window was about 3 feet up off of the floor so you didn't want to jump too hard and fall out the window. We did it all safely and no body got hurt. All of the guys in tan gear are the teachers, and my classmates and I wear the black ones.

The burn building you see in the pictures has special walls that don't burn so it looks different than a normal building. I think I have a video of the inside of it so you all can see how it looks before they set small fires.
