We went and got wood the other morning as a family! It was hard work but we got to go play afterwards... so it was totally worth it. When I was a kid, we got wood together as a family all the time. My dad would take the truck and load all 8 of us in the back of it. We would drive off and find a good tree and cut it up and load it, then we would take turns riding and running back home. With the back of the truck full of wood there wasn't enough room for everyone to ride back all at once. I try to explain to my kids how easy they have it... but they think my childhood sounds fun (I really can't argue, those were great memories! ha ha!)

Lizzy is such a great worker with not one complaint!

Aaron trying to make a raft for the kids... until he got yelled at by a lady downstream who told him she was going to call the forest ranger for disrupting wildlife. That same lady lit up a cigarette a few minutes later! We vented about her for about an hour!

The kids stacked up rocks and made a really cool water shoot.

After swimming, we went through Gridley and had a milkshake at the Burgie!
