Mormon Helping Hands

Today was the big Mormon Helping Hands service event throughout all of California. Our assignment as the Oakley Ward was to clean up several parks around town. My little group was sent to Nutmeg Park to pick up trash and pull weeds. We brought back several big bags of both and even dragged a recliner up the hill to the sidewalk for some guys in a truck to come pick up. Afterwards, we met back at the church for lunch. The girls had a great time, except for all of Alison's injuries. She smacked her lip into a picnic table and bled onto my yellow shirt and tripped several times. I was feel'n pretty good throughout, but didn't realize how tired I was till I got home. I put Alison to bed, turned on some cartoons for Sam, then sat down and immediately fell asleep. I was so tired!
