Getting the Kids Involved

In our new home we don't have much of a backyard, so we don't ever really play out there. Luckily there is a neighborhood playground that is very close to our house. We play there a few times a week atleast. The last few days we noticed it was starting to look horrible. A lot of the kids play there unsupervised and leave their trash everywhere. And the only trashcan there was overflowing. So, the kids and I decided we would go over there this morning and clean it up a bit. So, we loaded up in the little red wagon and walked over.

Rachel was incharge of gathering anything recyclable in her bag. She gathered about a dozen empty bottles of water. Will thought he needed to stay well hydrated. So, he mostly drank my water while we worked.
After we finished picking up we played for a little while. Will was pushing Rachel on the merry-go-round.
Will decided he'd pull the wagon back to the house. He refused to let anyone help him.
Here they are relaxing after a hard days' work.
