We had the opportunity to do a fun service project through the church. We each made a quilt that had to be tied. I did all the cutting and measuring. We then took our quilts and ourselves to the church where we sat in the cultural hall and as a family each tied there own quilt. The kids were really into it and seemed to enjoy doing this. I liked it because we all got to sit together and just talk and tie quilts. It was part of the Disneyland "Give a Day Get a Day" program. If you volunteer your time to a local charity off of a list that Disneyland gives you, Disneyland then gives you a free ticket in return for your efforts for anyone over the age of 6. I didn't tell the kids they were getting free Disneyland tickets out of it because I don't want them to expect that you should get something every time you give something. So they don't know it, but we will be using our passes to go to Disneyland at Christmas time. There were very few blackout dates which is nice. The quilts were then donated to a local charity that will distribute them to babies in need. We hope our quilts go to Haiti or Chile.
