April 18th: Massive Road Change

We swapped the old sink for a new utility sink. The pump and plumbing that was with the original sink works great!!! 

 Swapped sink

A little mouse kept the kids entertained for 3 hours :)

 While groups of people were down working on the road, Reagan, Lincoln and Makenna kept the kids entertained with wagon rides as the other adults cooked lunch and cleaned up camp.

McKinley is the cutest little ring leader with these two!

Sometimes I'm really glad that kids hijack my phone :)

New cooking/prep area.

Uncle Chris taking control of this out-of-control-tree.

There was a bushy pinyon tree right by the new kitchen station. Chris made quick work of the lower branches and the kids and women helped clear out everything underneath. It created an AWESOME climbing tree and shady area to sit and eat under. 

Curtain rod and hot water heater in place. It's rustic, but it works when you need a hot shower!!!!

Some interlocking tiles for the shower floor.

As the work day was coming to a close, Zach drove the backhoe up to Hidden Hills and gave all the kiddos a little ride in the bucket. Zach and the crew accomplished more in the last 5 hours of road work, than in the previous 12! By the afternoon Zach had mastered the tricks of the trade and started ripping a new road on the 3 sections that were the most treacherous. Of all the things to forget to take pictures of... I didn't get photos of the obliterated road!!! AHHHHHHH! I was up at the camp most of the day, and when I did run down to check on progress, I forgot to grab a phone that wasn't dead (mine was) to snap a video or a few photos. 

Here is a video of a tree he knocked down in the area we want to build the barn. I feel like this video doesn't do the backhoe justice. The size of the trees that Zach had been knocking over the previous 4 hours were 5 times bigger, but fell just as easy. But at least you can get an idea of how much fun he had all day :)

Bucket loads of fun!
