Planting trees @ Henderson Park

This day (Feb. 28, 2009) was a special day for us, our first volunteering duties for our community.  We all agreed to volunteer and help plant trees at the new park here in our area.  Actually, I requested it from my kids  it was kind of my day and this was something I wanted to do as a family.  If you ask my children if they had fun, I can tell you they would rather play with their friends or be on the computer.  I myself like the idea of helping and can say we planted these trees here.  I hope the trees we planted together will survive and be still here even if I'm gone...  Sentimental me.  He! He! He!  Anyway, we only planted 2 trees out of 50 that day and stayed to put mulch around them for 2 hours.  They had a lot of volunteers and we all were thanked with a gift certificate to McDonald until 4 pm that day worth $8!  Now that is a treat!  By the way this is still under construction, it was nice to see the progress of this place.  It's off limits for the public and soon it will be open, I'm excited to go to this place when it's done.  One other thing, there was another person with my name and she wrote that, I just had to take picture I thought it was kind of cool.
