Mormon Helping Hands Day

On Saturday we joined lots of other members of our stake
clearing weeds and branches from a local trail.

There was only one vest left when we arrived so Kaitlyn was
the one to look stylish in a yellow "Mormon Helping Hands" vest.


Logan was of course dying to use the power tools so
Mike gave Logan a chance to use them as long as he was nearby.


Where's Logan?
Look closely and you'll see him carrying this load of branches
to the end of the trail.


There were other ward members in our "zone".
We all had a good time working together.
(Kairo, Ben and Isaac)

Logan and Isaac came up with a faster way of loading the bags.
They were very pleased with themselves when they
could load the bags faster than the rest of us.



We were just about to leave when our buddies, the Wrights, showed up.
So we stayed a little longer and worked with them for awhile.

(Lauren, Logan, Mallory, Madisen and Kaitlyn)


Everyone worked really hard and had a great time.
I was very proud of them.
When we got in the car
Logan asked, "when is the next helping hands day?
He's ready to do it again next weekend.

I think if you look really close you will see that I was behind that bush with Logan, and you all thought I just didn't show up! JK! Julie

What a good activity. I love the one w/ Mike helping/instructing Logan on the weedeater! So fun. (and Kaitlyn looks way too cute even after a morning of hard labor, how does she do it?)
