Mormon Helping Hands for Hurricane Harvey

We had the opportunity to go down to the Houston area to help the many people there whose homes were nearly destroyed by the recent catastrophic flooding.  Brayden and Kevin went one weekend and then the next weekend they went again and took Makenna along with them.  They worked hard in tough conditions but had a memorable and rewarding experience.  They slept in a stadium on the floor and showered at a gas station.  They never complained either.  They were happy to go and so many people told me about how hard they worked.  Makenna was excited to tell me that shes quite good with a crowbar- a hidden talent we never knew.  What great kids they are!

   

Meanwhile, the younger kids and I tried to keep busy.  We made homemade bread.  That was fun!  We also did some fairly unsuccessful geocaching and otherwise just laid low.
