Fortunately (or unfortunately) I stopped the video right before Gavin dispensed with his swimsuit altogether. So much more fun to celebrate summer by running around the yard naked!
Austin spent the morning clearing brush and the afternoon spreading crushed slate around the ground in the carriage house so we can use it as a garage. A guy came last week with a mini-excavator and some loads of slate to help create the driveway. Now Sam isn't the only road builder in the family! Austin is justifiably proud of his road and his parking space. Next thing we'll see is a basketball hoop up there on the wall. Though I think we'll have to find a door for the hayloft or they will be chasing a lot of balls upstairs.
While we were finishing up with the slate the kids were doing a "science experiment" with mud.
They were so filthy (and we were so sweaty) we decided to go out back to wade in the river. It's still a little cold yet to try the swimming hole -- the water still feels like snow runoff! Brrrr!
Gavin's quote of the day: "Mom, I hope we get to have summertime tomorrow, too!"
