Weeding & Hiking

We had no school on Friday, so we took advantage of the day and rescheduled our meeting for the morning.  I'm so glad we did because we got so lucky with the weather and our entire meeting was outside!  It stayed dry until five or ten minutes after our meeting ended... so lucky!  Anyway, we started the meeting up at the school and we weeded the front garden bed.  There were a lot more weeds than I originally thought.  The boys did a great job on this service project.  After we finished the weeding we headed over to Lake Sawyer for a three mile hike!  It was a relatively flat trail with lots of little ponds along the way.  The boys all paired up and collected the little bits of trash that we saw along the way.  Another great service project!  Such a nice way to start the day!
Mathew got the biggest weed of the day!  The dreaded blackberry bush!

Eric and Connor working on those tiny little weeds that grew at the base of the Euonymous bushes.  They were tough to spot!

Nick, Hunter, and Liam working hard.

Benjamin, our Den Chief, even got to work.



Eric and Hunter collected the most trash along the hike.  I think they even found a car part!

The hike was beautiful.  Here are Mathew, Connor, and Hayyan searching for trash.
