Painting Traffic Signal Boxes....!

One Friday night at 8 pm, I got a message saying to have our older girls out in Shafter by 8 am the next morning. I text everyone really fast to see who could make it out there on short notice. You know? It's Summer and everyone is on vacay...!
These were the girls that showed up to paint the Traffic Signal Box on Lerdo Hwy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
They helped in painting the "Colours" mural on the Signal Box with an artist in town.
It was actually super fun and interesting.  I was worried about the girls out there in the sun for hours and hours, but the time flew by because we learned so much.
The City Councilwoman who put this together, came out to encourage them and the Mayor even came out.  They brought the girls water and put traffic cones around them so they don't get ran over...!
The next Traffic Signal Painting date isn't set yet and I really hope it's not last minute again, but I was told that the younger girls might be able to help this next time since it's supposed to be handprints painted all around the box.
It was alot of fun and I cannot wait to do the next one.
It is neat seeing that in town...!
