Record Breaking Weather!

Today was the hottest day this summer (so far) at a whopping 85 degrees!  And what better way to spend the day than chopping firewood for the winter?
 D watches closely... (in his one purple boot)...
...and then imitates him.  He whacked that piece of firewood many times while we cheered him on.
M decided that IJ was old enough to try out the splitting maul.  After a few lessons, he was up and running...kinda.  But after several tries, and no injuries, IJ finally splits the log!
And that was no easy log to split!  We are so proud...and M is happy that he will finally have some good help around here.
