Mormon Helping Hands

Last Saturday we participated in Mormon Helping Hands.  We were assigned to Heather Farms Park in Walnut Creek.  We cleared out some Juniper and other plants, laid some weed protection stuff and then planted some different plants and trees.
 It was dirty work, but we had a good time.  Here is Calissa taking a wheelbarrow full of stuff to the dumpster. Calissa did really good helping until she found a bug on her hand.  (There were lots of bugs!)
 Conner and Travis hard at work.
 Calissa and I were the dumpster runners.  
 Parker working hard too!
We were only able to stay about three hours since we had Conner's baseball game to go to so we didn't get to see the final project.  We had a few grumbles from the kids as we were headed there that morning, but there is something about doing service in a group of 100+ people that makes it fun.  The kids came away with a better attitude of service and was a great family activity!
 Sunday afternoon we drove out to see the finished project.
Great work everyone!
