Trip to Bay City!

The trip to Bay City was a success! Well, it actually didn't start that way. Vicente DeLeon, a member of our panel, took us there on Wednesday. Neither him or us had been there before so we had to mapquest the address and follow them step by step. As you can imagine, something went wrong. Mr.DeLeon trusted that we would tel him exactly what to do and he would just drive. Well apperantly, Big Mistake! We accidently told him to exit 288 way too early and we ended up driving in the dirrection where we were coming from for about 30 minutes. This is only because at one point Rebecca and I had an inkling that something was wrong. We just kept looking at each other wondering who would have the guts to tell Mr.DeLeon. Eventually I did and - as expected - he didn't trust us anymore so he took the directions away from us. :( This made us really behind.

But just because we had a bad start doesn't mean it ended bad. Eventually, we got there and I finally got the chance to met Janet Peden. She is such a nice lady that made us feel welcomed and seemed very enthusiastic about the project. She invited us to the room where our wall is located. It is Big! (We have a lot of work ahead of us.) There we sat down with Janet, the director of the Boys and Girls club, and also a teacher of the kids. We showed them both of our sketches, of the potential mural designs, and their reaction were priceless. The liked them a lot! But they were instantly drawn to a particular one. They gave some suggestions and we agreed to come back on that Sunday (February 6) to project and trace the outline of it. The time for creativity week is getting closer by the minute so there's no time to waste.

So there it goes. We now have an official sketch of the mural and its Amazing! We really can't wait to get started on it! :)
