Park Strip Done in Time for Company!

We were finally able to finish our park strip!! Carlton rented a mini skid steer to help move the rocks around which really helped speed up the process. It was a bit nerve wracking to watch him use it though, not the most stable device...

After two days of working on it, we finished!! The bigger rocks had to be hand placed, so it took a bit longer than we thought it would. Now we just need to figure out the best way to break bricks in half! Any suggestions??






We also added some painted rocks for extra color! We decided to have our visitors paint a rock to help decorate the front yard!



Maggie decorated this beautiful rock!! Leaving behind a piece of California to commemorate her visit.



We loved having Maggie and Bill visit us on their extended road trip! The kids really loved having visitors and someone else to share the pirate ship with.


Now our future visitors can also paint a rock to help us decorate the front yard!


In other news, here are some pics of the kids and their latest shenanigans. They got clown noses at the library for doing a scavenger hunt for clown pictures in the kids section.






And Avery tried on her fancy dress just to see how it looked!



That's about all that is going on here! We are very relived to finally have the front yard done. We enjoyed our visit with Maggie and Bill and hope to see more visitors!!


Stay safe and healthy out there!!
