Pavilion Cleanup in the Woodlot

Monday, May 28

A Family Project

 

 

We went to the pavilion early because I still had some weedeating to do before family members arrived.

I don’t like to weedeat near those who are raking leaves and leftover debris from winter.

 

 

We had Jere and Kristen’s youngest children while they worked on cleaning out the house for their friend – see my June 1 entry.

 

 

The boys brought their own wheelbarrows and rakes.

Jesse told grandpa that he needed to pee. Grandpa said, “Go pee against a tree.” He did!  There is a bathroon with the pavilion, but he forgot about that.

 

 

My responsibility is to bring the drink. On this day it was water, mint tea, and a mixture of orange juice, lemonade, and mint tea.

 

 

By ten o’clock most of the others had arrived.

Jeff always takes care of the fire.

 

 

 

 

Each picnic and serving table is washed with soapy water then rinsed with a hose.

Mother always takes on the job of cleaning the pavilion bathroon and sweeping the pathway.

When we have a lot of good workerss (and we did), we can get the job finished in two hours.
