I wish I had a photo of me when I was a child. My Dad used to take us out on the tractor to till the field. Using us kids and sometimes the neighbor kids a weight for the grator, My Dad built a sead and a handle bar for us. We would come in the house after just covered from head to toe in dirt and laughing about what happened in the field.
So it was with our little back yard (field) We finished installing the new sprinkler system that will cover the whole yard minus a little section for a playground. After covering up the trenches, Jon tilled up the whole yard to soften the soil. After picking up most of the big rocks, I started to drag a metal screen around with bricks on it. It wasn't doing anything. So I added Alex's weight. That helped a little. Then Asher saw what Alex was doing and wanted to join. What the heck. I needed a little more weight. Off we went. Until my neighbor came over. She called her son Seth over to joing the crown. At points we would hit a really soft spot and I would have to have the two big boys jump off, get over that spot, then have them jump back on. All of them were having so much fun.Afterward, we took them inside for a bath. It was so bad we bathed them, drained the water to get rid of the dirty water, and bathed them again. Ah memories!
