Day of Service

This last Saturday our ward, combined with a couple others had a Day of Service to help restore and beautify a local alternative high school. This school was in desperate need of some TLC! Lots of manpower, pretty plants, and repair work later and it looks much, much better! Our family mostly weeded and helped shovel mulch into wheelbarrows and spread it into flower gardens. Christian helped skim debris (and fish) from the pond. Other things done were power washing the building, repairing the walkways, clearing more brush near a river, painting and general landscaping. "Many hands make for light work." It is so true! There were tons of people there and it was amazing how fast the place was transforming. I had to work, so we didn't get to stay the whole time but we were grateful to help where we could. And of course the boys LOVED climbing trees and playing in the gigantic mulch pile!
