I got tired of waiting for a clear, dry day to work, so I did this project in the rain and mud. Also, we wanted to get the deck built, and the water line needed to be put in first. Laid out the 3/4" PVC to determine the best "route" of travel.
The day before it rained, I dug the first hole to find the source line, and Alice needed to inspect it:
Rented a trencher from Salem, and got to work:
Took three attempts to get this off-set line connected, while bailing out muddy water in the pouring rain.
Sewer line trenched:
The second week of June, we got to stay at Wonder Valley Christian Camp for a week and help with a group of 4th, 5th and 6th graders. We of course took our "house" with us and had very little to pack or prepare. Alice slept just fine in her own bed; she didn't notice a difference. We had a great week helping to lead a group of young kids, and of course they all just adored Alice.

Alice loved the camp food:
and as I said, the kids loved her:
She started walking this week too, and she had plenty of room to do it!
It seems that this particular blog post is beginning to focus on Alice more than anything. That's ok! This is Father's Day, and I'm proud to be one for her.
