Carl was so excited to get involved in Grandpa's new giant dirt pile. This picture was taken before the three inches of clay/mud stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
Playing tug-of-war is super fun. It was my job to advise the kids on how to beat Craig, and lend a helping hand as they needed it.
I don't think we've even put the bikes away this year. Alice and Carl both graduated to bigger bikes. Then if that wasn't enough, they created a serious obstacle course. Carl is "ripping" some 2 by 4's on his saw horse "table saw" in the lower picture. He doesn't let the fact that he has to make his own cutting noises stop him from having a good time.
We got an order of beans and lentils. My helpers were very enthusiastic -- I think I've finally swept up the last of the mess.
