Jenna's birthday was pretty packed between a dance recital rehearsal, a ward service project, and the dance recital performance, we were go, go, go all day! For our ward service project we went to the working 1920's farm at Prophetstown State Park, and helped spruce up the grounds.
We start with a picture of Jenna -- There were several things to do at the ward service project, weed a garden, shovel mulch, and paint two out buildings. When we arrived, I figured that our family would stick to the dirt jobs and leave the painting to others. Apparently, I was wrong! Poor Jenna tripped while shoveling mulch and fell in the paint. Then she found some kids painting a small fence around the garden, and she decided to help. At least she had fun, right?!
After the project we toured the farm and checked out some early 20th century farm equipment. There was a cool machine, that Robby especially liked, that separated the corn from the stalk with the turn of a crank. Of course, as I type this I think the contraption was only fun because we were playing. If we really had to turn the crank to get enough feed corn for all the animals, we probably would have grown very tired of the process.
Playing on the mulch pile!
Olivia did her service riding on my back.
