Now that the weather is warm, we are always out in the yard working on projects. We have A LOT of projects! Our niece came over a while back and spent all day Saturday helping us in our yard! She was a trooper! She wanted to run the tiller so Paul showed her how to use it and she went to town! She kept going until her arms about fell off! Paul asked her if she wanted a break and she said no. We accomplished a lot that day thanks to her!
We have had "the pit of despair" in our backyard for about a year now. We wanted to bury the trampoline because we have winds that come through our yard that could send it to California! Hayden started digging "the pit of despair" early last summer and had a little help from Colton. He made great progress until he hit straight rock and then the pit didn't go anywhere for the rest of the summer. It sat through the winter and Paul really wanted to get the trampoline in so we could finish the grass. Hayden really wanted to earn some money so he tackled the pit again. Last Saturday, Hayden finished the pit! We put the trampoline in and wrapped it with plywood and backfilled the hole.
It is looking great but it was a lot of work. Hayden really earned his money on that one!
After we got the trampoline in the ground, we went to my sister's house to check out her latest project. They have become beekeepers and Colton has become interested in it too. Ryan was taking the lid off the hive that day so we went over to watch. It was fascinating!
Ryan spent quite a bit of time teaching the boys about worker bees, drones, queen bees and honey. Colton even got to taste it. It was quite interesting!

I won't tell Ryan you put pictures of him in his bee suit :) We sure are enjoying the bees and hope that Colton does to after he gets stung the first time.
