Work ... Play ... Fun ...

Craig and James continued to haul the trees to the fire ...

Nathan unhooking the choker from the stumps ...

We were finished hauling the trees for today ...

Craig wanted to do an experiment of tossing a plastic bag into the draft of the fire ...

to see if the updraft would take the bag into the air ...

It worked and up to the sky it went for quite a distance.

The wind had picked up a bit ...

James And Ella decided to try and fly the kite ...

the wind was not consistent so it took them awhile to get it into the air ...

Nathan and Grandpa were sitting back ...

watching the fire and the kids playing ...

Early morning enjoying our breakfast before heading outside ...

for another day of working ...

The kids remembered that Grandpa had received a bib years ago for Xmas ...

and they thought Grandpa needed to put it on to protect his shirt ...

James had gotten some food on his shirt ... so I pulled out a bib for him as well ...

they all had a good laugh about that one ...

Ella piped in and wanted one as well ... I knew I had another one just for her ...

It was another beautiful day ...

before we started to work ...

we opted to go for a family quad and dirt bike ride ...

touring all around the properties ...

We also ended up hiking up the trail to Opa's resting place ...

what a beautiful view ...

Nathan was enjoying riding on the trails ...

that him and his brother Ian rode on during their childhood ...

He also tested out riding up the steep hill again ...

then Craig being of age that his dad was at the time ...

took the challenge to try out the hill ...

He did it ...!!!

Nathan went up to where he was on top ...

and guided him on the technique to make his way down ...

Craig was proud of himself for conquering it ...

just as we were all proud of hime as well ...

After our touring venture ...

we headed back to the bonfire to enjoy a well deserved lunch ...

James & Ella worked on creating their own little fire ...

to roast hotdogs and marshmallows

The clouds were moving in ...

it was getting dark ...

Ella took the picture of the mountains with the fire in the forefront ...

Beautiful ... !!!
