The Cannery and A&W Rootbeer

Tuesday morning our ward had its canning day. (I try to go every month, because I know that food storage is important, especially in these bad economic times.) Since Holly was visiting, she decided she would come too. She had never done it before, and figured it would be a great experience. Frankie initially was going to shop at DI (Deseret Industries) while we were canning, but they were not opened yet, so he had to join us.
I quickly put him in charge of making boxes for our crew.
Doesn't he look thrilled to be doing this?
Our ward did over 100 cans! Yay! And it only took us a little over an hour.
Our family got rice, sugar, and dry milk.
I'm glad I had my little helpers with me. They did a great job, and learned real fast! I know it will be something they will remember. Who knows...Frankie may even come back. =)
I let Frankie transport our goods to the car, being the man he is!
The best part, though, was going to A&W afterwards.
This is Frankie's favorite place.
It was pretty good, I must say...I haven't had a soda in quite some time. I usually only drink water, but it was cool to watch our rootbeer ice over in our cold mugs.
Yum! Yum!
