Next outdoor project on the list was Memorial Day. Clearing out the woods behind our house which leads down to a creek. It was overgrown when we moved here, and it has just gotten worse! So it was not something we could take on ourselves. We had Brian and Nick come be the masterminds since Brian works with trees all the time. They did an awesome job! Jonathan worked alongside them the whole project, and it took the 3 of them a solid 8-9 hours of work. And it was soooo hot! We had a lot of poison ivy back there so we'll have to stay on that, but it's so wonderful! That wknd we also stained the swingset my dad built and stained the deck. A big wknd of work! Glad it's over :)

| Before... I've tried to capture these by using the same TREE as a marker.. you'll have to enlarge the picture to see which one. |

| It was VERY hot that day... the boys cooled off with the neighbors! |
 |
| H was so excited to finally get his long pants/shirt on so he could help daddy. There is a lot of poison ivy we had to cut out... we'll be surprised if no one gets it! |
 |
| The guys doing the project also helped us hang our rope swing. Devon made it for the boys a few Christmases ago, but we've been waiting for a 'tree' available to hang it on! |
 |
| Kids LOVE it! Of course, we had to set a few ground rules... |
 |
| Apparently it's not just for kids... :) |
