Melanie's school has this super awesome area where the kids can go learn about plants, animals and more! It needed lots of love and her teacher asked families to come help clean it up. Somehow the rain stayed away long enough for us to scrub down yucky tables, trim brush and widen the pathway. This is what it looked like when we were done.
Behind all these trees is a little shaded area with more tables for the classes to work at. The path winds all around and has bricks with the names of all the plants, flowers and trees. It is a really neat area. It still needs more work but we had lots of fun and hope to go again. Kailah absolutely loves this kind of thing. She was pushing wheelbarrows, weeding, scrubbing tables and widening the trails with all the grown men. A man told me that Kailah worked harder than anyone else today. She is such a good girl. She has learned so much about Oregon and tells us all kinds of geography facts and has lots of plans for things we should see while we live here...especially the volcanoes!

The teachers made us hotdogs for lunch and then we checked out the playground.

Wow! That is such a cool idea for a school. And feel free to send Kailah to my house any time - we have a lot of yard work that we need done.
