The Fun Begins!!

What a fantastic day! The weather was beautiful, the kids had a half day of school, so we decided to put them to work! Today's project was to haul landscaping stone for the garden border, and to paint the boards that would surround the garden. The children didn't disappoint, and they worked so hard!! All in all, everyone had a great time, and we got quite a bit accomplished.

Once the children were dismissed from class, they had a picnic lunch in the playground. From there they lined up and headed over to the garden.

Fr. Skip did a great job prepping the area... the boards were neatly layed out waiting to be painted, and the area for stone was clearly marked.

The children were organized into two groups... half were assigned to painting for 30 minutes, the other half moved landscaping stone. Everyone worked together so well, and we accomplished the job in a few short hours. What follows are a few pictures of the fun day we all had together...

The weather couldn't have been better, and we look forward to more fun days ahead in the garden!
