... to sorting boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes (whew) of food.

So last Saturday Crimson Bridge agreed to help the Auburn Food Bank out by sorting some food. Well, they just finished the school food drive so there were boxes and boxes and boxes and more boxes. And not just any wimpo box I'm talking bigger-than-me kind of box. There were 20 of these bigger-than-me boxes so yeah, I think you kind of get the idea of how much food needed to be sorted. Our plan of attack: Diggers dig food out of the bigger-than-me boxes and give to Runner. Runner runs food to specified table to Sorter. Sorter organizes food further and stacks boxes on pallets. That was pretty much it. My cousin Carlia and me captained the canned veggies table. Don't think this was some easy job. Let me tell you how we broke it down. Canned corn, carrots, beets, potatoes, and any other random veggie went together. Well cream corn is a different thing so it gets its own box. Green beans get their own box too. Refried beans of any kind also get their own box. Tomato items have to all be separate. We did not except any glass jars (at least not at our table.) And then we had a box for chili, wow there was a lot of chili. It was a good time. There was about 50 of us and it took us three hours to sort 20 bigger-than-me boxes. Pretty good, way to go team!
After everything was cleaned up the boys wanted to practice their parkour skills and run along the wall over the pile of flattened bigger-than-me boxes. That's my cousin Adam scaling the wall. Wow!
