They gather to prepare a plan of action. Who is doing what and and when. Everyone has a say, young and old alike.
First you load them on the trailer and haul them up the road to work on the canal. It has to be cleaned out, branches, weeds and silt.
The apple trees need to be trimmed. 
The lawn mowed and raked. (Mark does a quick cloud check)
The raked grass then is spread on the garden(red neck spreader)
Taking a break
A very important job, keeping the grass from blowing away.

Grass is meant to be played in like a pile of leaves.
When the call for the work day goes out the question of "Do we get to use the chain saw?" is asked. If the answer is yes then you can guarantee the Utah boys will be there. They like to show off who's the best.
Others are content to take on the tractor.
Look at me, I can drive it.
Uncle Syd is great to let even the little ones tackle it.
Even the "Batman brothers" can drive it. 
Ladders are no fear if you are batman
The last task of the day was to tackle the Raspberry patch. 
Of course the putty car was put to good use. Transporting the little ones who so patiently waited for the work to finish so they could ride the train.
Sometimes it took team work.
Lining them up for the big ride is a challenge
Engineer in training.
Not everyone is as thrilled to wear a hat and scarf.
The first run of the season and of course it didn't want to start. All the men gathered round, gave their advice, poked and prodded, added fresh gas, checked the spark plugs, only to discover they had forgotten to pull out the on switch.

Boys will be boys and climb on everything.
It's finally time to ride the train. All pint sized engineers must wear the right hat and scarf.

What picture show would be complete with out the rabbit ears. It's part of being a boy.
Thanks to everyone who helped. The yard looks great and, all in all it really was a lot of fun.
