Labor Day

The Hole project - some creature dug a nice home for itself at the edge of our rock bed and under the cement landing. Then it died. The hole had to be filled to prevent more death and destruction from happening there. It turned out to be a half-day project involving digging, quik-crete, water and more digging. Here's the almost finished project!

While daddy dug, the children splashed!

3 little fish

 

Andrew is so big that he thinks the slide is more like a diving board.

This girl is fearless!

Labor Day turned out to be long day of laboring, at least for Keith. And it was HOT - 105 degrees hot, with no breeze and high humidity. Horrendous day to be working outside. To keep the kids entertained, we set up the little froggy pool, in the shade and they splashed for hours. Hannah threw a small fit when I dragged her wet little body out of the pool for a nap. She was having such a great time sliding and splashing with her big brothers. But she was very tired and when she was done with her fit, she napped for 3 hours. All-in-all it was a very productive day!
