The last Saturday we were in Walton we rode up to a little shelter up on a tall hill down at the farm and had a cookout with all the family. It was really an enjoyable time. Grammy drove a tractor up with most of us in a wagon behind it. We parked once up at the shelter and the boys especially had a fun time playing on the tractor.

Keegan found another fruit he liked and gobbled the watermelon right up.
Katelyn quite enjoyed her hot dog.
As did Titus, who dove right into his hot dog middle first.

On Thursday morning Grampa and I did some cutting and loading of firewood. We got quite the workout, and here was Titus giving Grampa some company during a break up in the sawmill.

Lift with the legs! (My arms were quite sore after this morning workout)

Some how some of the dirt managed to make it down to the middle of the driveway...
It looks like a wonderful visit. I am sure the kids had a blast. Thanks for the pictures. Mason was thrilled to see that Titus has the same dinosaur shirt that he has. "I love Titus!"

Chris! Hey, when you want some more workouts with wood, come see us!! Bill and I do this every year as we burn wood for our heat. It is GREAT for the upper body and arms. Sounds like you were not used to such "farm" work!!!
