Beaten Out By Boy Scouts

"Clean-up, clean-up, everybody everywhere. Clean-up, Clean-up, everybody do your share." -Barney, the big purple dinosaur.


Today was the Arlington County/Falls Church Young Republicans Clean-Up the Park Day. Unfortunately, upon arriving there we found out we had been upstaged by the local boy scout troop (shake your fist at those youthful do-gooders!). But I guess the early bird get's the trash because those boys did such an awesome job cleaning the place up that we were scrounging for trash on the land like we were hunting eggs on easter. 

We did manage to find a few things here and there that the boys might not have been as adventurous to pick up (around the creek and steep hills and such), and after we were finished we had a nice cookout by the pavilion (don't worry, we cleaned up after ourselves).

We never thought we would be so happy to actually find a piece of trash on the ground- but we were so eager to help, we were happy to have found anything to trash. Maybe next time we will get lucky ;).
