Obladi oblada ~ Oh, for the love of Disney! And a plan for a greener earth! Disney’s Volunteer Program is magnificent! Of course, being in Florida, we have been seeing tons of commercials for this new Disney program, apparently it is temporary, so hop on the site and find out more, you can volunteer all over, in your own area, in exchange for a Disney World/Land Ticket. We, and the Bennetts took off for Tallahassee for the day yesterday, about a 3.5 round trip drive and 5 hrs of work, we have earned our Disney Tickets which will be given to us within 2 weeks ? The kids were excited to of course be earning such a fabulous reward for helping, but, also to just jump in and lend a hand! Sage said, “Mom, I love picking up trash!” hehe, ok, well, maybe I wish there was some more eloquence to it, but, hell, at least the kid wants a cleaner environment. Each of us with trash bags and cameras amongst us, we walked along the trails and picnicking areas of Wakulla Springs Park, Cleaning up lots of cigarette butts and beer cans along the way, we also stumbled across a cd collection and hub cap, and even a rug along the highway prior to the Springs Entrance. This showed us all how we really do impact our environment, it is very important we clean up after ourselves, just as we did as children with our toys back into the toy box! Now, as adults, it seems we need to learn our toys and games are often different now, and disposable, maybe some things aren’t good enough for our toy box, but, then we need to find a trash can, instead! After Florida, our family was going to begin volunteer efforts along our travels, so this was a great opportunity to kick start it! We are all very excited to keep this up and a part of our lifestyle. We will be looking for volunteer opportunities in areas we go to, so please if you know of an organization or even a family that needs help with handyman stuff around their home and can’t afford it, we are here to help. Please let me know what we can do in your community when we pass through ? Just be sure to wave at Da Big Brown Bus as we roll on by! Xoxo, Tara
