Yesterday we went to Uncle E's to visit for a bit after Husband left for work. Bitsy & RL are best friends & we can't go very long without taking Bitsy to see her "Ray-ray." The kids went out to jump on the trampoline with J while Bitsy & I hung out with Beffie & Ray-ray in the house. When Uncle E & Aunt C came home from work, Uncle E put the FarmHands to work helping level out a huge pile of sand they had to put their pool up on.
Once that was done, we all pitched in to help assemble the 15' x 4' swimming pool. It was the most fun I've ever had doing something like that. The FarmHands fetched & carried & collected the trash. Bitsy tried to bury the plastic pegs that hold the frame together in the sand under the pool. We laughed & teased & worked & in the end, the pool was assembled & the water turned on.
Then the FarmHands helped J dig up the old water hydrant because it had to be replaced. We ate pizza & headed home around 8:30 last night. After their baths, the FarmHands collapsed in their beds & did not wake up until after 7:30 this morning. Bitsy slept until 8!
I'm telling you, forced child labor is so underrated!

Yep, we had my daughter walking my sister's dog all weekend. They were both exhausted!
Sounds like every one had a good time!
