What did you do the first day of summer vacation?


Did you relax by the pool?
Did you head to the park?
Did you let the kids watch cartoons the whole day?

Well, not us. . .
We Put Our Kids To Work!

These WERE our gigantic frazier bushes growing on the side of our house.
And while they provided us great privacy (notice you can barely see our roof line) our garden was not growing behind the fence because the sun couldn't get through our bushes.




So dad (and grandpa) would chop away. . .

Kristopher would drag the branches. . .


to Kale who would hoist them up into the truck. . .


It was teamwork!

Here is all our efforts about 1/2 way into the project.


And all day later
and 4 trips to the local dump
Here are our bushes today!


 Maybe today we can go play and enjoy summer!

Sounds like the summers I remember. Missed you all yesterday.

I have a thank you card for you--keep thinking I'll see you in the halls at church! Guess I should just mail it like the rest of society :)
