Yard Work.

Kevin loves yard work. 

I look out at our yard and think: good enough! Green on the ground, some trees, a couple plants thriving despite our attempt to "help" (i.e. kill ) them.

However Kevin sees it as a blank canvas.  He's always got some project going in the yard and honestly every single thing he does turns out fantastic so there's no reason to doubt.  This spring: new patio.  

Cole is always ready and willing to help Kevin, and in fact unloaded tons of stones from the car for the patio.  We suckered Dad into coming over and helping too -- and he even bought US lunch, I'm still trying to figure that one out.  No matter, we were thankful for his hard work and the kids got into the act too.

The patio still has some finishing touches to put on there, but here's a view of the day's progress.
