The Carson River Festival and Clean Up

The Carson River Festival in Dayton was really fun.  When we first got there we unloaded tables, chairs and set up canopies.  The kids started showing up and setting up their tables.  I got to teach about the water cycle with an activity called The Incredible Journey.  People get to make a bracelet.  You start with a sun bead.  The sun heats water on earth causing evaporation and then people travel to different stations:  clouds, soil, oceana, rivers, plants, lakes, groundwater, animals, and glaciers.  The kids liked making the bracelets and had fun.  I also helped other people at their booths if they needed it. We packed everything up, took down tables, chairs and canopies.  We packed it all in the trailer and it is still there!

I've been working very hard every day when I go to work.  I don't complain and I do my best to get everything done on time before my hours are up.   We've been cleaning everything and I'm having fun working with Linda.  This summer is a new experience for me and I'm just trying every day and having fun working outside and interacting with new people and making new friends at events.  Sometimes I work a 5-7 hour day and that keeps me really busy.

Settling In

Monday, June 17.  I went to the Carson Water Subconservancy and met more people with River Wranglers.  I worked very hard that day but I was having fun while I was working.  I had to make name tags and print, cut and fold thank you cards.  It is fun helping River Wranglers because everybody is really nice and respectful.  I get to teach others about River Wranglers and it should be really fun.  Every day I get to do something new and its kinda fun , it keeps me busy busy but interested for the day.  I think I'm going to like doing this over the summer.

Thursday, June 20.  Today I had to finish getting everything ready for River Wranglers' Carson River Festival in Dayton on Saturday.  I cleaned up the trailer and made it all organized so everyone will find it easy for fing all the things they need.  I cleaned up the Enviroscape model and got out the supplies for the water cycle activity, the Incredible Journey.  I recruited my friend, Dusty, to help teach adults and kids something new.  And by teaching everyone else about the water cycle, I'll be learning new things as well.

Meet Ryan a Summertime Blogger.....Comstock Worker and River Wranglers Intern

I had fun on my first day of work with River Wranglers. I got to meet new people and had new experiences. I like to try new things even if I don’t know how to do it. I’m easy-going and I like to explore the world, go hiking, fishing and have fun with nature.  I enjoy being helpful in any way and I’ll push myself in life and have fun with whatever I’m doing.

I have challenges with spelling and I’m not very good at writing. I’m easy to work with and sometimes if I don’t understand something when I’m working I try to do it by myself  because I get kind of scared to ask for help if I don’t understand how to do something. I’m a very hard worker and I’m getting better at asking questions when I need help. I’m going to learn new skills for life and have fun this summer.
