Hey all Cali here from Mount. this week has had its ups and downs with the weather which had an impact on the number of kids that came to the park. but on wed. Katy and I served 35 kids a meal and alot of parents were there as well which is great! thursday, we served 27 kids and about 20 stuck around after to play games with us. we all really had a good time. at Feed My Sheep last night, Katy and I served meals to the people and we also maintained our three garden beds there. at the nature center this past week we picked lettuce that is grown in the gardens that the commuinty has helped with, and we gave it to a few families at Maple Beach Park. I have been trying to get nature involed every day while at the park with the kids. this week the kids found two frogs which we named Jobin and Jobin the Second. yesterday was an exciting day for me and the bugs! one of the kids found a Cecropia moth under a picnic table. I grabbed it before it flew away and I showed all the kids and told them all about it. After the moth lays her eggs, I am going to add her to my bug collection! Katy put up a picture of the parde last saturday. I have never been in a parde before so it was really exciting for me. we all had a lot of fun.

As for the video I think that it is really great that people can get good food for little cost. it would be great for this to happen around the country, but I dont think that to many farmers or people would be willing to work or sell for little money. this is kind of like what we are doing wiht the communty gardens. allowing people to take fresh grown crops home. The Belo program is very interseting and is very benifical. I dont think that it will work in the US though. it all goes back to how willing people are.
