summer work and fun!

So, I never thought we would tackle our back two corners in our yard covered in weeds as tall as me!  (one corner is behind the girls on the tramp...our new RECTANGLE tramp that I'm so stoked about) But, once we found out our neighbors were putting THEIR back fence in, and therefore OUR back fence in:), we got a boost of motivation to start the project! We weeded one Saturday and one corner at a time.  Once the weeding was over the hard part was done, or was it?......
After three early mornings, before the girls were awake, of laying tarp, it was time to purchase the rock! We thought we could unload the rocks in one trip and one evening...not so.  Four truck loads and three days later we had the rocks in place!

And the finished product! I'm so relieved.  Now I feel like I can move onto another project next summer because I wont be having nightmares of our weeds overtaking us in the middle of the night:)
