 Today we kicked of Lily’s Summer of Service with a hike on Grotto Trail up Payson Canyon.
Lily’s school is participating in the Governor’s Summer of Service and her/our goal is to put in at least 50 hours of service between June 1 to August 31. I highly recommend participating with your little ones if you are in Utah this summer.
We are looking forward to:
  1. Beautifying parks and trails by picking up litter
  2. Making bracelets for orphans in third world countries
  3. Making bookmarks and stationary for the Juvenile Justice Center
  4. Collecting cans for Habitat for Humanity
  5. Making and delivering food for the sick in our church community
  6. Visiting the elderly
  7. Putting together care packages for the troops
  8. Tying fleece blankets
  9. Making cloth diapers for preemies
  10. Sending new stuffed animals overseas for the troops to give to children
At first I was worried we might not be able to find enough for a five year old to complete 50 hours of service, but as you can see by my list – there is SO MUCH TO DO!
Back to the service we did today!
My husband found this fantastic trail just 45 minutes from our house. Lily gathered a few grocery bags and her gardening gloves so she would be ready to pick up litter when we got there.

 The trail was only .3 miles long and was easy enough to travel with our 5 year old, almost 3 year old, and that cute little baby in the back pack.
 Kyler was fascinated by the trees and leaves. (Bytheway – we love our baby hiking backpack. Easy to slip our little guy in and tons of storage for all our snacks, water bottles, and even changes of clothes for the children).
 Miss Lily kept her gloves on the entire trail and filled up almost an entire grocery sack full. I was actually surprised at how much we found. 
 This is the grotto at the end o the trail. So beautiful! The picture doesn’t do it justice!

 These darling baby birds were in a little nest on the ledge in the grotto. The mama bird kept swooping in to feed them. Definitely a fun find for both us and the children!
Here’s my little super server. After this, we picked up even more litter around the parking area including that big ole’ box to the side of her. 
We highly recommend the trail! It was super easy for little ones and was so beautiful! 
How are you teaching your young children to serve? (I may need the ideas if we need more hours!)
