I think Dave just invented a new dance that day. The Fire Ant Hop!! You should have seen him jump! He didn't know what had bitten him but he jumped up and ran for the water faucet. We never saw an ant but by the next day when all the 60 some bites started to come to a head we concluded it must have been fire ants. We were still installing water pipe and Dave knelt down in some dirt he had just dug out. Poor guy. We again were working in 105 degree temps...I mostly held the umbrella and provided drinks and encouragment. 
On Saturday Sam and Lisa came and Sam helped us fill in trenches- a job we THOUGHT would be easy...but alas...not to be. Dave had rented the post hole digger so after the trenching work was completed the guys went down by the lake to dig holes for the poles that will hold up the roof for the "shade" guard for the lakeside patio. (Lisa was on umbrella duty here) We hope to have the cement poured this week. 
It was fun to have Lisa and the boys here too- Henry is such a charmer!

That's quite a picture of Dave's knee! Ouch is right. I'll bet you're looking forward to getting rid of the ants around your house! The boys and I probably won't be out tonight, but Sam will be there this afternoon to help set those posts. Hope it's a little cooler!
Fire ants are the worst!!
