Fishpond (Monday)

Today we went to he‘eia fish pond and it was a lot of fun. we started the day with some stretches and an oli. we then broke up into groups and went out to do our work. the first group loaded rocks onto the gator (its basically a golf cart on steroids and it has a flat bed that has a hydraulic ram to dump out its cargo) and the gator drove out to the end of the fish pond wall. then gator would dump out all the rocks and the second group would load them on a small boat. a third group would push the boat to the section of the wall that was being built. the third and fourth groups would then work together to unload the boat. finally the fourth group would arrange the rocks and build the wall. i worked as the second, third and fourth groups because the people in those groups would rotate so that we wouldn't get tired out. my favorite job was building the wall because i like to build things and i also like to be in the water. so for me this job was a lot of fun and i took a lot of joy in doing it.
