Garden Adventures Part 1

A fun, impromptu family day in our garden that started when Jeff, my brother and my nephews cut down two palms near the house in preparation for the replacement of our back deck and green house.
Some serious cubby house building took place with the downed palm trees.
Hearing about all the action and not to be left out, my 'favourite' brother-in-law turned up prepared for action.
He brought my other nephew and my niece who joined their cousins for some wonderful, wild, gardeny adventures. For the first time they were allowed through the fence and down the 'far back' of our yard (we have 1/4 acre of wild bush and dam full of wildlife). 
 Lots of fun was had exploring the dry dam bed. 

A week later some nice rain filled this to almost 2/3 full. 
The girls had to stay on the other side of the fence.  They had tick collars on but we were making sure they were as safe as can be. As it was at the end of the day there were a few ticks pulled off the humans. I had 5 with four of them being paralysis ticks. Luckily they don't affect humans like dogs.
