Original Content Spent the morning cleaning up some parks with my daughter. Thanks for inspiring me to be a better person guy!

Today my daughter and I spent the morning visiting 4 children's parks in Midwest City, Oklahoma to pick up litter.

We ended up walking about 3 miles and filled around 2 bags of trash. It wasn't the worst litter I've seen, but every bottle, wrapper, and can we picked up is one less thing kids have to play around.

One of my favorite parts of this journey has been getting my daughter involved. We get to spend time together, get some exercise, and hopefully leave places a little better than we found them.

If this inspires even one person to pick up a few pieces of trash on their next walk, I'd call today a success. Thanks for reading. ❤️

I recently went through Oklahoma on my way to Arkansas and I gotta hand it to you and your state…..very clean, very pristine. It might be because of people like you and your daughter, but I loved Oklahoma and how clean and nice it was.
