BUILDING A BRIDGE ON SANDSØY

Another fun day with the kids when they had a day off school.

5/27-09

The kids just can't be on the farm without checking in with the bottle lambs first.

The milk jug is full of milk for the bottle lambs....and what else to transport it on than a tractor?

It is so much fun to be popular when you get the the bottle lambs with milk. They are all over you until the milk is in the barrel.

Then, back to the purpose of the day: Building a Bridge. There were 11 kids and they decided to split into two groups, one for each bridge we'll need to connect the islands in this region. In this photo: Rebecca sawing the foundation for their bridge.

Axel hammering together the two pieces that make the foundation. Jonas watching.

After working for a couple of hours, it was time for food. We put some wood in the BBQ to grill hot dogs and apples. Yummy lunch.

Back to work! Marcus painting his group's bridge. 

The asphalt is laid!

All done! The bridges came out great! What a fantastic job by the kids. They designed, built and decorated the bridges all by themselves. I only gave 'technical advice'. 

Bridge number two, a four-lane bridge..Lots of traffic out here.
