Washing cars

It was another beautiful day.  We cleaned out the garages and hauled out the big picnic table and grill.  Austin was planning to install a new toilet in the upstairs bathroom, but after pulling out the old one he discovered that the bowl of the new one was shattered in the box.  We had to special order it through Amazon.com because of the non-standard rough-in size.  We're working on a remedy for that.

So Austin decided to do the first hand-washing of the vehicles for the season.  He usually does this every Sunday when the weather is nice.  The kids were very excited to help, which meant I got plenty of time to get some things done inside the house.  :o)

Lincoln enjoyed sitting in the middle of the bubbles and puddles.

Emily was actually quite helpful.

Lincoln is getting tips on washing mud flaps.

Emily was entrusted with the hose for rinsing.
