March 21st, Saturday Service Project

To kick off SPRING BREAK we had a service project for my Grandma Carpenter in Gilbert. All my Mom's family was invited to come help clean up her yard. This was a fun family project. The men worked hard trimming branches, cutting down the palm tree and grape vines in swimming pool area. The woman pitched in with clean up here and there, but mostly worked hard at watching children, and visiting. We had LOTS of FUN!


Even the dog got a trim, well not just a trim but
a shaving to the skin!


All the kids pitched in, it was great to see them work! They
hauled branches, picked up trash, and loved to watch the men
cut down the palm tree!


How many men does it take to make a decision? We(all the
woman) would sit, joke and laugh...the men seemed to either
have a lengthy discussion on what to next or how to do, OR
2 men would work and the rest would supervise!


Everyone brought a picnic lunch! IT was GREAT fun to sit
and visit and enjoy each others company!


On a side note: Courtney got to jump in the pool, and pull
out a large palm leaf they had dropped in the deep end.
This prompted several other children to get on their
swimsuits and jump in. The only problem was...the pool
was still a little on the cold side, so they didn't stay in very long!

We all had lots of FUN and it was a GREAT way to kick off
SPRING BREAK!
