Around Here

Little man set up business yesterday. He woke up early and baked cookies and made lemonade. He made $12.50 which was pretty awesome. Greta made $120 in the last week babysitting  and pet sitting so for their ages I am very impressed!! 

Lots of work to do in the yard but it is enjoyable work. 

Don’t bother the baker.. he sold for two hours then had a sale.. then gave Gret’s robotics team his extra cookies. 

It is a good lesson in patience for him, selling lemonade. He told me people driving by are “ Eye’in But not buy’ in” :) 

While he was selling, this girl was helping her team move buildings, recruiting for her team at the farmers market and then babysat until after midnight. You can’t call her lazy.

Sperlunking

Sperlunking in the Mammoth caves. We took a two hour historical tour. It must be the child in me but I love the challenging squeeze and limbo parts of caving.

Old signatures on the cave ceiling 

“Fat Man’s Misery” is where things get tight! 

WW1 memorial in the cave 

Housing for people with “consumption” or better known as tuberculosis. The cold didn’t help since fires were lit for heat in a cave. Lung issues and a Smokey cave was not a good combination:(
