Backyard fun!

Last weekend we had a backyard makeover. We finally had our patio put in and finished. They were suppposed to start at the beginning of June but had to wait for all of the rain to pass. Oh well! We are really pleased with how it turned out. So last weekend we spent the whole weekend outside fixing up our backyard. We landscaped around the patio and in the back corner of our yard to hide the utility boxes, covered everything in mulch, Marc built Ryan a sandbox and filled it with 1 ton of sand, and our neighbors across the street gave us their swingset that was set up last weekend in our yard. We set up Ryan's pool so that he and I could hang out while Marc worked hard. But...Ryan is "da-dee's" boy and would rather help Marc than play his own thing. He helped set up his pool, shoveled the dirt to plant the bushes and then spent over 1 hour running up and down our yard getting wheelbarrows full of mulch with Marc.
