Bees, Eggs and a Dirtbike

 We got our first 2 eggs this weekend! One on Saturday and one on Sunday. It is almost silly how excited we all were! Grace and Sophie were at their first soccer game of the season. Jason stayed home to work on some things and he called to tell us about the egg during the game! Also to ask us to bring home ice cream...

We finally received the parts to get the dirt bike running. The boys rode it constantly all weekend. The girls are not as interested yet. Their friend Abby rode a bunch when she was over to play though.  She also came with us to pick up our bees from Brushy Mountain. We now have 2 bee hives! So exciting! I was not worried at all about working with them. Having a full suit on with veil and gloves I am sure helped. After we picked up our nuc boxes and were pulling back onto the road we passed a small family cemetery. Grace asked if that is were they bury people we got stung! Already the kids are getting more used to the bees. We did get a child suit too, so it helps that they get to see and help with the hives so far. Of course there is a ton of fighting because there is only one suit.
