A True Labor Day

  



 Grandpa likes to keep his living room at a roaring 98 degrees so we wanted to get him some wood to last through the winter. The Bunkers were nice enough to let us use their truck, tools and muscles.

Everyone got in on the action

Gpa, Brad and Mike would cut the trees, knock them down, and cut them up. The rest of us would get the pieces back to load the truck.

It was great for our kids to see some other hard working kids.

We have more cousins?

More cousins!

 

 

Adam was a hard working kid

 

 

Damon was very cute

All done and packing up

The beauty of a truck that just lifts and dumps all our hard work right where we wanted it.

 

 

It wasn't all work...we did play... a LOT!!

 

Grandpa Buckley took us to Geod Hill 

 

 We found some cool stuff.  Fossils, septarian nodules, rocks, horny toads, etc.

 A beautiful day in San Juan!

 

 

On Monday we headed up to the Bunker's fields to put up a fence.

 

This is actual evidence that Amy did do some work. We now have a picture of this one time occurrence folks!

 The kids thought a drop in the bucket was a pretty cool reward for their hard work.

 

Jess wanted to ride in the bucket again so bad. She stuck real close to Brad to make sure she would get her chance. She finally fell asleep before that last ride. When we got home, for two days she would tell me "I want to go in Bret Hunker's tractor!" That just means we will have to go back again!
