Yesterday's Adventures

I came home last night physically exhausted. I laid down to blog and couldn't do it.

Yesterday, Griff and I (with various friends throughout the day) shot a series of seven videos for the PDYM Student Leadership Conference.

Here's a recap:
* Allison Murray drank a bottle of hot sauce
* Griff ate In-n-Out (I know, he should have switched Allison)
* Leigh mapped Australia
* Danny counted change
* I found some bees
* Bella taught us some phrases
* Griff and I dropped a computer off the top of the worship center


Okay, the computer drop was the last video we shot, and the best part of the day! Knowing I would blog about it, we took some photos...

There are TWO ladders to climb to get to the roof of the worship center. We had a giant computer to take with us (tower, LCD screen, keyboard and mouse). The boys McGyvered a blue bucket with a rope and pulled it up the ladder.



We climbed up after--it was about 94 degrees outside...


The church from the roof


The solar panels on the roof


Darren climbed up the second ladder with one hand, carrying the heavy computer in the other...without him, I doubt we would have made it all the way up.


A small crowd gathered, anxious to see the destruction


I can't give it away, in case any conference-attendees read this post, but here is the computer after the drop...(the post-it note says MONITOR NOT WORKING)


I'll be sure to post these videos after they run at the conference!

Was it a functioning computer? I think I might cry if it was, that monitor would have been perfect as my second...

These are the types of adventures that I miss the most
