Believe it or not - I'm posting

I have a huge amount of catching up to do and will probably skip most of what went on over the past 6 months but I'm wishing for summer right now and would love to be up at the lot with the family so I thought I'd post some of the fun things we did last summer up there.

Gary made a shooting gallery for our airsoft guns.
A wild bunch of friends trying it out.

Just don't shoot this guy. We call him Grandpa because he is gray and big and is continually visiting us. The kids love putting cookies out for him. He will scamper right under our table.

We dug back about 4 feet to give us more room around the firepit and used all the rocks we dug up to make a rock wall.

Deepening the firepit will have to wait until spring.

We made wider and safer steps.

Sawing down the log to make the steps.

These two little guys became best buddies this year and LOVED digging in the dirt pile with their trucks.

Do you think she likes it up here?

Grandpa's favorite part of being at the lot - playing with the grandkids.

Can't keep him off the fourwheelers.

We did sit and take it easy a few times.

Even this bundle of energy.

Grandpa's girl.

The kids loved their weekend pet - a horny toad we found while on a walk. He had some caterpillers to keep him company.

The kids have a fantastic dirt area and did they ever enjoy it!

Needless to say, neither one worked. We have a dead tree with a huge crack in it that is leaning on another tree right by our trailer. We tied tow straps around it to try to pull it down. You can see the 4 wheeler and the truck flipping to the side from the strength of the tree. Hopefully, the winter storms will bring it down.
