A couple of Saturdays ago we had a work day out at Mendota Hills Campground. Quite a few families from our church came and helped out. Joy was all set to work with her little blue rake!
The Waasdorps were all such hard workers - even down to the little ones, Shayna and Yancy.
There were a LOT of leaves to rake and burn!

Tending the fires and keeping them going was awfully hot. We were glad we had sunglasses on to protect our eyes. Sometimes the smoke was so thick in amongst the piles of burning leaves that you could hardly see.
A number of us came home with blisters and burn marks from the heat and hot ash.
Ahhh, water break!
Zoe Zigler and Gabrielle Lee scraped old paint off the picnic tables.

Oh dear, is it wise to give him a chainsaw?

While the others were still raking, Crystal and I decided to clean the bathrooms. Those shower stalls took forever to scrub!
For lunch everybody brought different soups and cookies to share. Boy, were we all ready to eat!
It was a lot of hard work that day, but it's always so much more fun when you do it with friends! There's still lots to be done, but we're having another work day this Saturday. I suppose I'll have even more pictures to add this weekend!
