Robert, Scott, and I, along with Devon T., spent the morning volunteering at the Houston Food Bank. The boys were finishing up a requirement for the Citizenship in the Community merit badge.I'm so glad we went. We spent the morning pulling food orders for different churches and other organizations in the city. The boys and Robert did the actual box toting. I did all the writing and the label sticking. The label sticking actually required a lot of bending and stooping, so it wasn't as easy as it sounds.
This was one of those times I wish I had brought my pedometer. I always remember it AFTER I've finished an activity involving a lot of walking! We walked a lot. It would have been nice to know how many steps we actually took.
The only bad part? The warehouse isn't air conditioned. There were random fans throughout the place, but it was still hot in there. We were all a sweaty mess by the time we left! It was definitely a two shower day!
My feet are sore (my sneakers aren't as comfortable as my Keens, but they're close toed), and I was smelly (remedied by a nice shower), but it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning!
