The Hideout

Ty and Nathan spent most of last Saturday with Steve and I as Heather and Kevin took Austin to lunch and a movie for his birthday.  Steve loves to get the boys outside playing and teaching them to work outdoors as well.

They cleared an area under our large cedars for their “hideout”.  Ty and Nathan each had a large stick to use for a weapon in case any intruders tried to raid their hideout.

 

Ty used a small axe and worked for a long time chopping off a branch and Nathan used other tools to help his Papa clear their hideout (well-supervised of course!)

When Nathan went down for his nap, Ty and Papa worked on the lawn by mowing leaves out into the woods.  Steve is very good to teach as he goes and Ty picked up the workings of the mower very quickly.

 

And so it goes…..work ethic being passed down through the generations.  Enjoyed having the Hodge boys over on a beautiful December day!
