We've been busy with yard work again. Here is part of the hedge lining the driveway. At this point we'd removed about 7 large bushes. But, after shredding a couple of tow straps and nearly damaging Kerry's nice truck, we decided to call in reinforcements.
Kerry's dad brought his tractor over to pull out the largest dreadful bushes. We even broke a chain these bushes are so tough.
Luckily the tractor was tougher.
Then we had to get a chain saw to section everything and make several trips to the dump. These work projects sure get expensive.
But, anyway, we did it, the hedge is gone, now we get to decide what to put in it's place.
Kieran finished out his track season at the Conference Track Meet which included all the 7th and 8th Grade track teams from Blackfoot up to Rexburg, there were lots of kids participating. He made it into the finals (top 9 distances) in both the discuss and shot put. He was the only 7th grader in each final. He got personal records in both events with 103'5" in the discuss to finish 5th and 38'5" in shot put to finish 8th.
He really enjoyed the throwing events and is looking forward to a throwing camp in June. He also got a personal record in the 800 but didn't place. His running improved enormously during track this year and that will really help him in football. He already had his first football camp this past week too. What a busy boy! Grandpa Smith came to the track meet and it was fun to hear about his past track prowess. He really enjoyed watching the meet. It was fun to have him there.
