Justus' Eagle Project

Justus was lucky to get his Eagle Project planned before the bad weather started.  His project was cleaning up Sandy Beach and Swede's lane by Utah Lake.  He had a great turn out from friends, family and ward members.  It was cold, but luckily the rain held off.  Justus made these invitations up and took them to church and to his friends at school.

Everyone met up at the church.  This is Caiden, Colton (aka Smitty), Justus and Wes.

Wes, Tyler, Smitty, Jasper (our dog), Justus, Corbin (aka Lefty) and Jake.

The whole crew walking back to the trucks with the last of our trash.

This is Justus' Grandpa Mike.  He took most of these pictures which we were VERY grateful for. Justus' mom got busy picking up trash and only took a few pictures.  He and Grandma Bonnie also brought hot chocolate and donuts and served everybody from the back of their truck.  By then everyone was cold and hungry, so the hot chocolate and donuts were great!

Trevor (one of Justus' YM leaders) was great to bring his HUGE trailer and bobcat to help us out with the big stuff.  There was absolutely no way we could have done it without him! 

Trevor's big trailer after we filled it up.

This is his trailer when he went to unload it at the garbage dump.  WOW!  Justus picked a project that really made a big difference.  The land owner came down as we were working and he was very grateful for all of the hard work and he said he had never seen girls help out at an eagle project.  Go girls!

Jake even filled up his trailer!

Great job on your Eagle Project Justus' - we're so proud of your hard work and a BIG THANKS so everyone who took time out of their day to come and help!!!  We ended up with 24 helpers!
