Marianne working on a hive. Bert tried a new method of chasing the bees out of the honey boxes using a leaf blower. Moderately successful but at least it doesn't anger the bees as much as when we use a brush to get them off the frames of honey.
Lots of games were played this year perhaps due to the damp weather. Johnny fishing with Dominic. Jason took the boys for a little boat ride. Samantha was able to climb higher on the willow tree this year. Max Bitzer. Rocket launching. Jigsaw puzzling must run in this family. Note Rick's blog photo entry below concerning the fate of this puzzle when it was finished!
Bert had been working at the farm and came home after most of the guests had arrived. Luckily he came in time for his cake. Then Bert had some fun with Sonja and Mike's kids.....at least I think Max had fun with his new glasses. Jake looked like a very young Harry Potter!
