OUR LONG WEEKEND

We had a good weekend this last weekend with a little bit of fun and a little bit of work (luckily more fun than work - for all of us except Jeff)!

Here's some of the fun:

We turned the slide in the backyard into a water slide.....

We set-up the little sprinkler to help us stay cool.....

We made some mud soup with the neighbor, Joey.....

And we took a little bit of time to rest.....

And water the plants while resting.....

Now for the work part of the weekend:

Underneath our deck in the backyard we have one big weed/mud/throw anything storage area. Jeff completed step #1 of the clean-up this weekend. He dug out, cemented and laid bricks to create a border around the grass. It was a lot of work, but turned out great and got us ready for the next couple of steps -- cleaning, leveling and spreading rock.

Here's a section of completed step #1.....
