Saturday, July 24

     Today we got to sleep in, maybe a little to late, but the sleep was much needed after a long night of playing Phase 10.  We went to the Sioux YMCA in Dupree to get our supplies for programming for the next week. We walked into the barn and saw that there was a lot of stuff in there. After the tornado that happened about a month ago alot of donatoins were sent to the YMCA and they are all sitting in the barn where all the programming stuff is. We found what we needed and went to find Denise (program director). We really did not know where exactly the house was so we asked people in the community. They knew exactly where she lived so we drove up the hill to find the house with the green shutters. We made plans to go out to camp tomorrow and take a look around and see what Camp Marrowbone had to offer.

     Now we are on our way to Timber Lake, SD for the Rodeo. We drove from Dupree to Timber Lake and it took about 45 minutes. When we arrived we definietly knew where the Rodeo was and we arrived early to get a spot in the stands. We saw cowgirls and cowboys doing there best from bucking horses, to cattle wresting, and to bull riding. The Rodeo was going on all weekend and we definitely saw some great rides. I think it would be fun one day to ride a bull. (maybe mechanical to begin with)

     We arrived back to Eagle Butte and we were super excited to switch it up and have pizza tonight. We went to the Cenex (gas station) and found out that we were not going to have pizza tonight as they were baking crust in the ovens. So we went to DQ and Taco Johns again for dinner.  We brought our food back to the hotel and put the movie Freedom Writers in the dvd player and relaxed while watching the movie.

     We did end up spending sometime today prgramming for our days in the commuity. We came up with a lot of fun things to do in each of the communities. We are really looking forward to our time out here.

Sunday- we are headed out to Camp!
