When you live in the mountains, there is the nasty requirement of abating your property to decrease the risk of fire. All dead pine needles and leaves need to be cleared. If you don't do it the fire department cites you so here...."abatement" is kind of like a four letter word (though I realize there are nine letters). So today we started raking in our yard. The boys helped out a great deal and Josh went to the dump two times! We could pay someone to do our abatement but decided to do it ourselves, save the money and get a little sunshine and exercise at the same time.
Joel is actually quite good at helping get the pine needles out from under the trampoline.
Joel really was a big help, here he is in one of our piles of pine needles.
Abbey was there, but in all honesty, she wasn't much help =)
We got a lot of work done.....but we'll have to do some more next week.
