Tuesday night we cleaned the station and got everything ready for the upcoming 4th of July celebrations. We've painted the flagpole, repainted all the parking lines, backing lines, parking bumpers, concrete pillars ... We've been busy! Chris installed an air hose reel in the top of the rafters.
Rilee came up to get some shooting help with her bow. It ended up needing some fine tuning mechanically so we had to take it up to Dad. Then he took over the lesson
We had our first irrigation day finally. The dogs were loving the backyard being soaking wet. Our grass sure needed it too! We dont ever water our grass at all except with irrigation water.
Liz's father in law rents the piece of property right next to Todd and Janas house for his horses. They were installing a gate for Jana to go in and brush the horses and to make watering a little easier. Koree was on the tractor with Grandpa Tyler.
While they worked Koree, Klint, Kinlie and Kennedy all came in Grandma Jana and Grandpa Todds house to eat lunch and hang out. The boys sat outside and had their man time. It cracked me up when I looked outside and saw them all gathered around the project supervising.
Nothings better when youre a kid than a sprinkler under the trampoline! We turned it on for K for about 10 minutes while dinner was finishing up.
Since she was wet and the weather was decent in the shade I decided we needed to eat dinner on the pack patio. I got out lawn chairs, used paper plates for the sloppy joes and fries and put cut up watermelon in plastic cups to make it easier. I told her to smile and this is what I get...
The chickens are always out except at night. They just wander the yard and sometimes follow us around. This one decided she wanted to try Miss K's sloppy joe
We finally got our garden planted. The whole thing had grown into one big weed pile. We had to weed the whole thing before we could start. Thankfully we had just irrigated the day before so the ground was nice and moist still.
The skies were nice and pink!
I just love sitting in our backyard (minus the mosquitoes)
