The day after Brian turned 35, he decided to mobilize the entire neighborhood into a yard clean-up for Mr. Griffin. Well... actually, he's been meaning to work on it for quite some time and he just now got to it, but it did become an impromptu neighborhood affair.
The main participants were of course Brian and his dad, but they borrowed tools from 4 homes including ours, the Jennings, the Merediths and Mr Griffin. Big Buddy Griffin had the coolest and most useful tools along with the super high extention ladder from the Merediths.
Jaime and Christian saw the effort and joined in. One of the teenagers came by to try to fix his limb cutter that was malfunctioning.
Of course, Ivan was in the middle of it all, rolling in the dirt and leaves, waving long sticks and wanting to be like the big boys. He thought it was all great fun, stayed in the action through nap time and crashed once we got home.

Now look at those people working. That is great! I love it especially because Ivan had so much fun. He learns quick and a lot. It's really great to see what you teach him.
I agree. Ivan is learning a great gift--the ability to help others.
