CAP Day 3!!

Hello. Greetings from your President and Press Secretary Melinda and Evy.

We woke up at the CRACK of dawn (6:30am), ensuring to terrorize the men first by banging their door as hard as possible. We then greeted the girls with a kind “Rise and Shine” and “Wakey Wakey.” After making sure Tricia wouldn’t be late, we had a beautiful breakfast of pancake, eggs, and fruit 😋.

After a sleepy bus ride we arrived at our final working site. Immediately we deployed our troops and got to work. The next three hours consisted of the most persistent, dedicated, and hardworking work that we’ve seen in this group of ALL TIME!! (we’re so proud 🥲🥲)

With the BRILLIANT leadership of president and press secretary along with the hardest working masons OF ALL TIME, we finished THREE HOURS EARLYYYYYYY AYYYYYYY!!!!! This allowed us to eat lunch and then we made the collective decision to go out to the city AYYY for souvenirs, icecream (yum yum 😋 🤤), and spending our final pesos.

As we arrived back to the ranch, we were surprised by our QUEEN Dani ❤️ with a delicious BBQ. Chicken wings. Pork chops. Sausage. Beef. Zucchini. Eggs in bell peppers. Quesadillas. This is just a few of the many DELECTABLE items made by our amazing leaders (thank you we love you).

Then before dinner we had some free time, in which the brilliant leaders had to recharge their neurons by creating friction between our two brilliant brains. A number of intense games took place in free time including but not limited to chess, taco cat goat cheese pizza, palace, spoons and dominos.

We then went out with a BANG with yet another epic nightly meeting where were talk about our day and debriefed the CAP we did over the past three days.

And thats it! Good night chat and stay tuned for Day 10 (one day left!).

Melinda and Evy made history today.

I am wildly impressed that you leaders got everyone out of bed for a third day of CAP work. You will need to share in greater detail your secrets! Congratulations on finishing up so early!
And could Toby please get some of the recipes from your chefs? The food has sounded so delicious!

Madam President Melinda — you and the team truly ran the day like a legend! 😂 Three hours early?? City trip, BBQ feast, and fierce games… your humor, leadership, and energy jump right off the page. I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to hear all the details .
Sleep well, recharge those neurons, and enjoy your last day of making history! 💛

Love,
Mom
