Comcast Cares Day

Each year Comcast gives back to the community by picking a non for profit charity, and volunteering for a day. This year I was appointed project leader, which was a lot of work and though I probably won't do it again next year, the day turned out really well.
This year we choose to donate some of our time and sweat to the David Davis Mansion. This is the home that Judge Davis and his wife Sarah lived in. Judge Davis was on the circuit with Abraham Lincoln and was a huge influence in convincing Lincoln to run for President. The mansion is huge and we were in charge of cleaning up the yard after the long winter. The day was off to a bad start with thunder and rain but by 9:15 the clouds went by and the sun came out. I brought Ben and Carter along to help which was a great idea. They had a blast!

I'm not sure what they were celebrating, but it's must have been something good.

The mansion cost less then $100,000 to build, today it would cost a few million. It's amazing inside.

Carter found someone to give him a lift around the huge yard.

Here's the stables where the horses were kept. Ben was disappointed they were no longer there.

Ben hated wearing the Comcast shirts. He insisted on wearing his own T-shirt, but I was able to bribe him for a quick picture.

I was so proud of these little guys! It was hard work and they helped out so much! Thank you boys!
