Today we had a 'woods day'. Some friends of ours kindly allow us to use their pond and boat, and they also let Papa cut firewood in their woods. Papa, Uncle Travis, Knut, Cecily, Thor, Bjorn, and one of Papa's woodcutting friends: Mr. Reed went up there this morning. Mom, Gloria, Rosemary, and I all stayed behind to make lunch and do jobs around the house. Ahem, well maybe I was busy making fairy wings for Gloria's Halloween costume. At least I wasn't just on the computer or reading a book or something. :D At lunchtime, we joined the men workers (Cecily's looking over my shoulder and 'helping' me, mostly pointing out my errors. She doesn't like being called a man.) at the pond and spread out the picnic. Here are some pics from the day:
The younger portion of the work crew
Thor and Bjorn
Hard at work
Knut's driving? Uh-oh! He's one wild driver! Luckily the load of wood slows him down...
Bjorn is such a help! :)
Seven kids on one paddle boat!! We made sure that Rosemary and Bjorn were in the middle so they wouldn't fall out. :D
Mr. Reed is ready to eat!
Cecily drove us back down to the woods from the lake
Knut fell off the trailer!
Either he's trying to make us go faster... or he's having trouble getting back on!
Uh-oh... seems Papa put one too many logs on that load.
Wow, what a load of wood!
Piling it up...
Wow! That ought to last awhile! (ought to, but won't)
Cecily here,
ReplyDeleteI pointed out two errors and helped Sylvia with the spelling of one word. :D <-(squeaky face)
