Boys on the Farm

This week we've had the pleasure of spending some time with 2 of our grandsons, ages 7 and 9. In addition to playing in water on these hot days, they spent some time working on puzzles. I was surprised at how well they did. They were pretty proud when they got the puzzles together.

Since we planned to spend a day at the living history museum we got them all fixed up with appropriate costumes. They especially liked the hats they borrowed from Uncle Ron.

They discovered it could be fun to help Grandpa work in the woodwright shop on their special projects.
