Saturday morning we woke up early and headed over to DePortlola road to paint the fence. Mormon families all across the State of California were doing acts of service in their communities today. So we thought it would be good to join in. I thought it would be so hard to drag everyone out at 8am since we are not morning people but when we told them they got to paint a fence they were super excited. Madison and Abby were all ready with their paint clothes. Hailey was a little more reluctant to get out of bed until she saw her friend Rory there. They had a great time together and loved being a head of everyone painting their own sections.
I was so proud of how hard they all work. I honesty thought we would be there an hour and I would be fighting with kids the whole time. But every single one of them were hard workers. Blake was painting with some of the boys his age and Todd and I were by Abby and Madison the whole time. They took great pride in their work. Who knew a four year old was such a great painter! Madison would use the roller and Abby would brush the posts. Then Todd and I would quickly roll over it with a second coat or whoever was nearby.
The whole group ended up painting almost a mile of fence on the walking trail. The kids did it for three hours and painted at least 8 sections of the fence.
