Car wash!

In the front yard there is a tree that provides great shade for parking your car in. Anyone who have ever been in Austin in the summer time knows that you can fry eggs on the hood of your car after it has sat in the sun for 2 seconds. OK so this might not be a very scientifically correct statement but it does get HOT around here.
The down side to the shade tree is that is is sick. The top and actually most of the branches are dead.
Around here we have these big noisy birds called Grackle This is hat they sound like and act like Loud and lots and lots of them. Here is a clip of a single Grackle that looks just like the ones we have here. 
These stupid birds love those dead branches in the tree. So they sit on them in large quantities and poop all over the car. 

So we have to wash it allot to keep up with them. well, today is September 2nd and this was from the first week of July and that was the last time we really washed the car so guess what the car looks like now!
The kids did have a lot of fun with it though.
They got to get wet.
climb on the roof of the car
and actually do something with daddy!
                 
Normally when ever they see him, he is asleep or getting ready to be.
Jed is always so crazy busy that this summer was a real treat!
Even though he was still in class and working, he was home a lot more than he normally is because summer school is not as intense and because his morning job was only every other day during the summer semester.
After a while, everyone just played with the hose for a while.
Water does magic in the summer.
Back to work for the finishing touches.
The car looked so nice and shiny.
how do you think the car looked the next day?
Stupid birds!
