Fun and work in Bootjack

The dock is so peaceful and inviting. One would think
that vacationing in Bootjack is all relaxation, swimming, boating, fishing,
and all kinds of other fun things.
You would be mistaken. Everyone needs to pitch in and
work together on the wood pile every year. Gordon relies on this weed for
heating in the winter, and it's a small price to pay for all the hospitality
and good times. It's also a great chance to work up a sweat and get bit
by the really big mosquitoes that buzz around the sawdust.
Even Chris tries to do his part. I think he'll be ready
to work the splitter next year.
Another fun job is erecting a new birdhouse. This one
is a monster and takes everyone working together to get it up.
Charlotte helps Chris out with an impromptu shower.
Looks like Chris is trying to give grandma a shower in return.
