Cleaning up the Neighborhood (Drains)

We got a notice in our mailbox that people were getting together to clean up the neighborhood, but we neglected to read it completely - the MEN were cleaning the ALLEYWAYS and DRAINS.  So Angela and Addison returned home, and Matt spent the morning with about 40 other men.  The firetruck came so we could use the water pump and pump water from the nearby drain pond into the drains to wash them out (they have some open sewers here).  It was a good time, although there was a lot of standing around.
