Today was the culmination of months of planning, fund raising, and work on the part of Clay. All these elements came together today as we all participated in...and FINISHED, Clay's Eagle Scout project. Clay's project consisted of constructing an outdoor relaxation area (including landscaping and gazebo), for one of the Primrose Group Homes for disabled adults. Clay worked hard all summer to raise money for the supplies and today friends and family helped complete this project. We were blessed with the most amazing cool weather and gorgeous blue skies. Perfect weather to dig-in and work.
Good friends...ready to work
Lots of helping hands unloading the truck...getting the supplies to the back yard
Caleb Dowdy, Adam Padilla, and Kinsey Lopez were all ready to help out
Mason Dowdy, and Adam start clearing the path to the future gazebo. Hard work for sure.
Clay "supervising" and planning things out with Chris and Paul
The "Once I was lost...now I am found" hardware to the gazebo. Maybe Chris Dowdy just needed to look a little closer :)
Do you notice a pattern here? These are only a few of the casualties. Hmm, who was breaking all of these tools? Lets just say, there were some accusation...and some tears :)
Clearing the ground was for sure the most time consuming part

Camden wins the "wants to help the most" award for sure. What a little trooper.

Down goes the pavers and the mulch...things are moving along
Grandma doesn't miss a beat. She gets right in there...clears the ground...and pulls out this huge root (with Kinsey's help) and Adam Hawkes is ready to take it away.
Ashley and her "baby niece"
Yay! Pizza. Cute delivery girl
hungry much?
Grandpa gets into the mix and moves a little dirt

Denise worked her fingers to the bone today. She never stopped.
Amazing!
Job well done Clay!

Woo hoo! Looks great! Wish I could've been there to get dirty (instead of doing homework here all day)! Congrats, and I really hope I'm home for the Court of Honor. Love, Alexa
So fun to be there today! Great results. We loved being a part of it...even if Clay wasn't going to tell us about it.
wow...I walk away from your blog for 10 minutes...and look at all the fun changes when I come back. Love it. We have missed the Roe blogs.
AMAZING!!!! I love it! I'm sorry I wasn't there to help. This is truly amazing, what a great project and how fulfilling it must have been to see the finished project! Great job Clay!
Clay, the wonderful comments are coming in from the staff who work in the home, the managers, and even the lawn crew. They all say this is the most amazing Eagle Project ever!! You did such a good job of planning and executing. You make me so proud. I love you lots and lots.
