SATURDAY
Saturday morning, we went with my sister to volunteer for an organization called Feed My Starving Children. She volunteers about once a week. They package food for kids all over the world, and that morning it was being sent to Haiti. It was a really neat experience!
1. In our 2 hour session, the amount of food we packaged. If you can't read that, it says we packed 98 boxes, which is enough for 21,168 meals! That means that in just 2 hours, we were able to make enough to feed about 58 kids for a year!! That is amazing!
2. The entire group in our session hard at work.
3. My sister and I.
4. At the end, we got to taste test the food we packaged, it was actually pretty good!
SATURDAY NIGHT
1. We went to a restaurant called Don Pablos to eat and celebrate my sister's upcoming birthday, it was delicious!
2. They even sang to her and she got to wear this awesome sombrero!
3. Our yummy queso we got.

ReplyDeleteHey there. I've nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award. Check out my blog later for details.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun weekend! Mall of America is fabulous!! I remember riding some of the amusement park rides when we went there a few years back. Fun memories of that place! And yay for volunteering! One of the programs I run for work involves a community service component so I've spent the past few weekends involved with food banks! Awesome feeling to give back to others!! Glad to have found your blog!
