Help the Hooch

This past Saturday we went to Idle Hour Park/Moon Lake for "Help the Hooch"....Peyton is the leader of Lakewood Elementary School's Community Problem Solving Team (CmPS) and they have over the past year really done so much to get all but one of the Phenix City Schools to implement recycling programs. They have gotten the city government on board by getting them to pick up the recyclables 2 or 3 times a week from each school and they have gotten many, many local businesses involved as well. Well, Saturday, the Mayor issued a proclamation to Peyton and her group for "America Recycles Day in Phenix City, Alabama"(or something really close along the lines of that) and Peyton gave a short speech about all they have done and what they will continue to do. They have successfully gotten kiosks put up at Moon Lake and the Roy Martin Center and the Phenix City Amphitheater for people to put their plastic bottles in to recycle.

After this we cleaned up the park....you would be AMAZED at the things you can find if you can make it past the attack Geese and all their feathers and pooh.....

Mother even managed to accidentally catch a teeny tiny fish in a plastic bag she pulled out of the water and this little girl behind us kept saying "daddy, daddy, I found another balloon" needless to say they were NOT balloons if you catch my drift....oh what surprises there were at the park!!! I found a cell phone in the bushes that had been suspiciously severed in to pieces in strange ways and the sim card location was all jacked up...it looked REALLY fishy to me and seems as if it was disposed of in this way on purpose....I managed to refrain from alerting the local FBI office to this find of mind.....I watch WAAAYYYY TOOO much CSI and the like!!! :)
