Thatching

Thatching the lawn has been something we have needed to do for a few years. So we borrowed my dad's thatcher, attached it to the lawn mower and went at it...well, Bryan and Ethan went at it. Courtney went out to help after a while but I don't know how much help she was to the boys.

There was a lot of dead grass that came up. They raked it into a pile and then jumped in it. It was pretty hilarious. Here is a video of it all (ignore it when I yell at Courtney, she doesn't look before she runs across the street!):




Here are some photos: (the back yard)

We ended up breaking the thatcher attachment and our rake. Ugh! But my dad said they can be easily fixed.
