The McLeod family lives on the outskirts of a large study.
Jay the youngest of the three boys helps with the family chores
and brings in the firewood
A knows how to stack the wood.
So there will be enough draft between the logs to help the flame catch
and to keep the fire burning steadily.
A word of caution from Dad not to get too close.
Jay has watched his brother Paul assemble a hi fi set which is making from a kit.
That's complicated for Jay All the wires
and circuits have to be put together exactly right.
You know order to get the high fidelity tones on the speaker the pointer on the
volt meter shows when the connection is complete
and also the amount of electricity.
Both Paul and J. Are pleased when it works.
Close hungry and suggest a Jamie can cook it.
Jay likes to cook and soon as a package of coconut macaroon cookie mix in the bow.
He adds water
and stirs the mixture into a smooth batter.
A spoonful for each neck a root.
He makes the rose even. There is no trick to making cookies.
If you follow the instructions on the box
and heat the oven according to directions in they go.
In twenty minutes it's time to take them out.
And they look delicious.
Pretty good.
It's funny how appalling brother Mark always appear just
when the cookies are coming out of the oven.
And that Jay is the cook.
Jay suggest they leave a few for the chef.
It isn't easy to pound a nail in straight. Dad comes to the rescue.
If you hold your hand further back on the handle it will give you a better balance.
Wait a minute. Try again.
After you get the feel of it you can strike they had squarely
and not been the Nagle
or Nick the work.
It's been the build things.
But your tools away.
And the board.
Change friend Carol comes over to help him build a tree.
He wants to be included in everything.
The boys do.
It's awkward climbing with the tools and boards.
But the boys have learned to be careful.
They have planned their house. Well.
And Jamie starts to work on the platform.
Curl look at the scrubbing branches to make room for the tree up.
I just think this will be our hideout.
And we can come up here to get away from everyone
and tell our secrets.
Let's say the thing is running away. Someone left the gate open.
We must catch.
The boys early but he had a head start. He's been lost before.
Jake calls on Paul very help.
And Paul decides to call the police.
Yes the police happened to be in the neighborhood and picked up fifty.
I'll take care of them until the boys come to the police station boring.
Murk goes along. It's Jay's first visit to the police station
and he's impressed.
How good it is to have a feedback.
J. Looks at the officer with great respect.
This is the real thing
and a lot more exciting than a television program.
Again thanks the officer for taking care of fifty.
Secretly Jane plans to be an undercover agent
when he grows up.
Jay is musical
and likes to play for the family who encourages music because it gives him a
special skill
coloring Easter eggs is really interesting. Jay handles the eggs carefully.
So they'll not break.
First I think
when Mark
is learning to be patient because he knows it's best for Jay to go slow
and do a direct then Jay travels to different colors
pink and green
and discovers they make as they did lavender.
Another green one fills the box.
There's a lot to learn about the blending
and mixing of colors.
On Easter morning Jane finds most all the eggs that were hidden in the garden.
Too bad. Mark
and Paul aren't up yet to watch the day
goes next door to see the little bird that fell out of its nest.
This is Dell rescued the little bird and is trying to say that like.
It's difficult to raise a wild bird.
As must be fed every hour.
She feeds the bird food
and you know at first a little bird doesn't want to eat.
This is the way a bird holds its beak open to be fed by its mother.
This is W.
Is a medicine dropper for the milk Easter
dinner. The boys discuss plans for their summer vacation and dad sees
that everyone has a chance to express his joy.
In this family every day is full of interesting activity.
New ideas to explore old skills to enjoy.
In the fun of doing worthwhile things together.
