B is quite determined with cleaning up our house and throwing various things in the garbage, but we haven't run into him being curious about trash outside yet. What a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, AND give back to your community!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216899824213911503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150664814592373146.post-87659006452254303192012-11-13T20:48:26.866-06:002012-11-13T20:48:26.866-06:00lol, I don't know!

Some kids like toys, mine like garbage.

I like the idea of combining it with family walks to give him a purpose to go out with me.Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150664814592373146.post-86636175555444711432012-11-13T15:30:59.205-06:002012-11-13T15:30:59.205-06:00Yeah, I'm not a fan of the looks, either.

But it definitely helps to make us (as parents) slow down! :) Thanks for reading, Lyndsay!

It's so disrespectful to the Earth to chuck stuff out, but it's also disrespectful to your neighbors chuck it into yards! Thanks for stopping by, Dionna!

People give us strange looks, but like your kiddos, mine is determined to clean up every green space we find ourselves in. I love the connection you have made for your kids with your faith.

The corner we live on is constantly barraged with trash - we pick it up regularly so we don't mow over it ;) But we've also taken a bag with us on walks - I'll make sure to make that a habit.Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463687059904219224noreply@blogger.com
