On Sunday of last week Rick, Tyson and I went out to load firewood for heating Brian's house and the garage. It was a beautiful day with the sun shining. Some family bonding while being productive at the same time.
In the very center of this picture is a gray deerstand. That is what they sit in while hunting deer up here. It's high off the ground. You can see the black spot that is the window and the gray square shape of the stand.
Tyson with his "chainsaw". He does a really impressive sound effect for it. Impressive and LOUD.
On this day we wore heavy coats and gloves. Rick, and of course Tyson, did the cutting and I helped load it in the truck.
Then 5 days later we went again and it was spring!!! Can you believe these pictures were taken in the same week? No gloves, no coats, no snowpants. Just a bit windy.
Tyson will be 3 in June. That's when the sweat and hard work will start. For now he can load wood and other odd jobs.
Andie shielded from the wind in the Baby Bjorn. I wasn't as much help on this trip since I had the baby strapped on. Tyson and I did a lot of puddle jumping and throwing things in the water to see how big a splash we could make.
I cannot begin to say how happy I am to see the spring weather. I feel liberated! The kids and I can spend so much more time outside and it doesn't take 30 minutes to get bundled up. My first Minnesota winter was very kind to me and made the adjustment much easier. I'm excited for the nice weather and the busy season to start up (in May) so I can see how this place works when in full swing. I've been learning about all the great history up here and can't wait to get out for some boating and hiking to see it all. I'm a warm weather and sunshine type of girl--my time has come!
