Real Life Farmville



First of all, if you don't know what Farmville is, it's a virtual game on Facebook where people have their own farms & take care of their virtual crops & animals just like a real farmer. Some of our kids (cough,,,Sara) are obsessed with it. Well, today we participated in real life Farmville...

Our family did our service for Disney's "Give a Day. Get a Disney Day" volunteer program. If you participate in an approved service opportunity Disney will give you one day free admission at Disneyland!

We went to Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in Phx & helped the Sisters of St Benedict with gardening. It was a wonderful service opportunity for our family! We are thankful to the Sisters of St Benedict for letting us come & work in their beautiful garden. Click here to learn more about Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery & the Sisters of St Benedict.

We helped weed the garden, dug 2 holes for planting trees, & aerated the tree border alongside the property.

  1. That is so great! What an awesome experience for all of you. Now I need to find a service day for my family too. Every time I get on the website, they are all taken.

  2. Thanks Camille! I thought there were some opportunities that didn't have the # of people needed & you just emailed the place but I can't remember.
