Community Service - David Style - Google Serve

Community Service Day.  Yes we make him work.  I know he is only 4 1/2 but you have to teach them young right?

This is actually part of a community service day for the family.  It is called Google Serve and we volunteer to help provide food - fresh vegetables - for the local schools and other community programs.

David is helping to pry the garlic loose from the soil so we can pull them out of the ground, put them in the bins, and then bring the bins of garlic to the cart for cleaning and then transport.

Mom is helping to provide some instruction to a man who has a will of his own. Dad is in the background taking the shots and moving through the field like the wind prying that garlic loose, while the little man is occupied. (Why you may ask, "Is he a distraction?" "Does he slow you down with a million instructions," - yes - I said instructions, telling us where to dig and how to dig.  No, no distraction at all.  The purpose of this day is educational - for him right?  Yes, of course, unless you are sweating in the baking sun and the clock is ticking away.

Da Dah as David says!  He picked his first garlic from the soil.  We had a great day and it is for a good cause - partially providing fresh vegetables to the local schools and partially to socialize this little man into what will be normal for him down the road.  Da Dah! (Oops was that Mom and Dad patting themselves on the back for this early training or just their sore backs at the end of the day.)
