Family Day at the land

Family day at the land!
Despite some major snafus to getting out of the house... (Ra'am not feeling well and Noam having shoe "issues"), we took to the truck to do a little bit of planting- 2 giant bamboos.

Here's the start of our journey. Luka looking... something.... in the truck





Everyone got to work right away. Ra'am wheelbarrowed stuff down to the planting sites.


weird formatting here.....---- those palms are near the scenic route entrance. So little now!























Ra'am also macheted (is that a real word?). Luka got a free ride.



Karen shoveled (so did GB, of course). Noam pulled weeds (tons of those)














We broke for lunch.













Karen took in some pretty flowers. They're small, but the colors!!!

And the end result?? This little bamboo. I know it looks like nothing. But when we compare this picture to what will be there in a few years we'll be thrilled we have it. change happens!



Before leaving we went up to the upper part of the property where the house will go. Luka found a puddle and just went insane. He had so much fun... and got so MUDDY!
a couple more pics of that here.

The day ends with Luka sound asleep in the car seat. Note the stick in his right hand.... what IS it about little ones and sticks???

sorry for the weird formatting. I can't figure this thing out!
