We let Eli and Sam swim in the kids pool during lessons. Sam loves water.

The kids are always a big help

We finally got around to hooking up our sprinker system to be able to use the irrigation water instead of using our well water. We can swap back and forth now, which saves on the power bill.

This is how the kids help. They start by handing tools to dad.

We told the kids to stay out of the mud. They are playing with it but not "in" it.

They slowly got closer and closer...

then in the mud...

 The mud Monsters...Pretty soon they were sittin in it.

Abby was by far the worst.
