our world

 One of our projects this year was to create a "world" cake.  We decided our world would be made of rice krispies...below are some pictures of our fun school project!



covering our world with water





grandma sandi came down to help out!





He's got the whole world  in his hand.  haha



she's got the whole world in her hands too!  great work by everyone!

Ethan was really looking forward to diggin' in....

We never would have guessed that the center of the world was made of rice krispies  :0)  Just kidding.....really, we are learning true facts while home schooling....honest.

GLEEEEANERS......





So the main idea at gleaners is to process the vegs so they can be dried and then packaged and made into soup mix to be sent around the world.  Gleaners is able to feed 25,000 people per day worldwide!  We are thrilled that we got to be part of this and see how it all comes togerher!  It really was a lot of fun and feels great to know we're helping out those who really are mal-nourished.

Jesse is a great worker!

Ethan had a couple of different jobs along with Maddie ~ he enjoyed making his rounds!





Madison was great at helping out!

Jenaya really cut em up!
