At the Beehive

Soooo… After Belize it was on to the Geiger property AKA the Beehive in the White Mountains. We set up a tarp above our tent like pros. It rained both nights and our tent hardly even got wet. The days were sunny and warm, filled with squirt gun fights, playing with Haile and her new rabbit puppet, playing the dice game, and we played two family laddergolf two-on-two round-robin tournaments. Alan and Alyssa decided where the starting stretch of the ATV trail should go and got to work trail building, digging, pick-axing, moving rocks and leveling the earth. Dave flattened it out more on top with the ATV’s plow attachment, and the Double A Trail was complete. Then we kept working with the help of Brian and Michael on the next much rockier stretch of the trail. Some of the rocks were too big to budge, but after we had called it quits, Mike rode the ATV all the way up it anyway. It was lots of fun playing with Haile, so cute and sweet and full of laughter.
