Adopt-a-Spot Cleanup
On April 22nd (also Earth Day) Joella, Katie, Sami, Jazmyn, Lilli, and I participated in the Adopt-a-Spot cleanup on Ashton Avenue. First, we came to the Lodge where a lot of the other Girls were making the meal for the firefighters and working on the scrapbook. We figured out which cars we were going to ride in and went on the short (probably 5 minute) drive to Ashton Avenue. When we got there the orange vests, little claw picker upper thingys, and the trash bags were distributed, and we split up into groups of two. Sami and I started next to the 7-Eleven and went all the way past another store and two neighborhoods! Sami was a little bit worried that we looked like people from jail, though. We ended up picking up so much trash that we had to give our trash bags to the adults because it was so heavy! We all found some really weirdthings too! After picking up a lot of trash, getting a lot of plastic bags out of trees, and taking lots of pictures for the scrapbook, we returned to the Lodge.
I had a very fun time and I hope I can do it again.
