We have been very busy doing a lot of yard work this summer. The kids have not been too happy about the new projects we decided to undertake. They were hard and we were sore and dirty by the end of the week. We started by taking the shed down. Dave, Harley, and Hunter had fun demolishing it. Grandpa and Grandma B stopped by the house during this project and Grandma ended up leaving Grandpa at our house knee deep in tools. Hunter and Harley loved working side by side with Grandpa and I think Grandpa had fun too because when Grandma B came back to get him, he was not ready to leave and took apart a few more things before Grandma got him in the truck.
The next project was cleaning out the creek area. Cutting down 2 trees, cutting grass and weeds down as high as my stomach, fixing the bridge, and trimming the bushes back. We took 2 loads to the dump and that was Hayden's favorite job. Probably because he got a drink at the gas station on every load!
It took us 3 days to do all this work and the kids were mad at all the work they had to do on their "summer break", but they were surprised with a basketball standard the next morning. They seemed to forget the anger they had for us and where all hugs and kisses when they saw their reward!
