Fort Week -- First Football Games

I did a horrible job taking pictures this week, but it's because I was at the Fort at Luke's school any chance I could.  I loved it, though, and especially loved the power tools. :)

Barnard's job at Oroville CA removed a Bald Eagle nest from a tree that was too close to the new power line.  Not every day you get to do that, especially not in California!  Very cool! 

Luke's first game was this week, but since it was at 8:00 I didn't take any pictures at all.  Oops!  This is Josh's team (orange for the Bengals).  He's #56, which you can sort of see in the left group of guys.  He played D line mostly, and did great! 

In this one, he's the second lineman from the right, deep low stance and black shoes.  He pressured the other team's quarterback and forced an interception.

Look at how tough he looks!

After the games, I went to go volunteer to help build the fort. It was a big day, the crane was there to set the 7 roofs.  This one is the top of the spaceship.  And in the middle/right, there's Grampa Harley helping.  He was there every day, all day and was a key player for the week.  

This was a tough week, not only was the job long hours but it was COLD!  We got a lot of rain, and even snow Saturday.  Grampa Harley and his Florida blood didn't love that part.  Gramma Harley helped every day, too, and was bundled up extra warm for that early winter weather. 

Sunday the weather got much, much better and look at what we built!! 

It's been 9 months in the making, and I just can't believe it happened!

We let the kids play on it at 5:00 Sunday, and they all ran in like lunatics, it was so much fun to see.
