Highland has a "Work and Play" weekend where they invite people to come and volunteer their time and energy in order to get the camp ready for the summer.
So we decided to camp out there on Friday night and work on Saturday. The kids had a great time as always with the camping. Glen loved learning about fire and Grace loved exploring the different kinds of wood and the things that she could build with the logs.
Grace even wanted to help us make breakfast early in the morning. I am proud of her for wanting to make breakfast even if she did not eat it. She much rather had a bagel, but she cooked over a fire.
Glen however, did love the breakfast. It was a good start to a busy day.
We hiked till the work groups got ready.
When they were ready, the kids and I were put on the group to clean up the flower beds.
So Grace braided old daffodil plants while Glen played with sticks and rocks.
They both helped fill the wheelbarrows and delivered mulch for the flower beds.
Here they are on mulch mountain. Ready to push some more mulch down into the wheelbarrows.

We left right after lunch. But between camping and working, the kids had enough and enjoyed a long nap on the way home.
