Drainage system

so the girls finally raised enough money to put the drainage system in and today is the day that the boys are putting it in, Bill brought the backhoe home today to dig the trench and Aiden wanted to give it a try, so Bill let him, well it only took Aiden by himself about 2 minutes to figure it out and he has been digging ever since, Aiden I would have to say is not your average 7 year old, he is so mechanically inclined, he always figures stuff like this out without instruction, he never ceases to amaze me, he and Dalton and like 2 peas in a pod, although they struggle with reading they difiintely make up for it with common sense and mechanical abilities....these boys are gonna make someone wonderful spouses someday, yesterday Aiden and I made puppy chow for a cooking homeschool adventure and today the excavating with Bill is another homeschooling learning adventure........who says school can not be fun??? Our mini pot belly pig is settling in quite well, she loves the cats, I cannot wait till Bill has time to build her a house so we dont have to worry about her getting cold or rained on, right now we have to keep her in a crate when not with us or in the fence. In the last week I took the girls trail riding twice, it was a blast, I dont usually get to ride, but when we go to crooked creek they always loan me one of their horses, I got to canter and I havent done that since I was young, it was a blast i cant wait to do it again, makes me feel like a kid again!!
