Lessons learned. . .

Recently, we noticed that there were bees hanging around on the outside of the Toucan tree house. Just far enough so we couldn't lean over and get to them. That turned out to be a good thing, as Miguel (who's afraid of very little) didn't want to get any closer to the critters than he had to. The supposedly swarm and sting pretty bad.

So, Miguel came up with a way to smoke them out from under one of the boards on the outside of the house where they have gathered.

Lesson 1 learned: The smoke alarm inside the tree house works just fine.

Lesson 2 learned: The fire extinguisher inside the tree house also works just fine.

Nothing major as far as damage, and the bees appear to have been smoked out for now.
