Justin did his eagle scout project last weekend. He and his dad came up with the idea to pick neighbors citrus and dontate the fruit to the united food bank. Who knew picking fruit could be so hard. We all had so many scratches and were pretty tired when we finally called it a day. Here he is waiting with donuts for his helpers to arrive.
My pictures are always a little out of order. They managed to pick 4 big boxes of fruit to donate. It took a lot longer than we anticipated. Here are some of the stalwarts that stuck it out with us.
I never realized how hard fruit pickers are to use. They had to reach up to very top to get all the fruit.
More hard working pictures. This was the first house. By the last house, we had dwindled quite a bit. All the scouts had a merit badge clinic. It was also kind of disappointing that not a single one of Justin's leaders made it. I think it would have helped to keep those boys going.
Here he is the hard worker. He hated asking anyone to work and help him so it was very hard for him to take charge. He takes after his dad in this. His dad told him it was all up to him and let him take the rein on everything.
This is Justin's good friend Parker. He was such a great worker and was happy the whole time. It was great to see such a super teenager. Justin's friend Noelle Candland also came, stayed the whole time, and worked twice as hard as most of the boys. What a trooper. She was a rockstar in my book.
Justin in his scout shirt delivering the fruit to the food bank. He worked hard and even though he has a lot of work still to finish it, I'm sure he is excited to be on his way. Thanks to all the helped make it a successful project.
