Prep Work

We had a fun weekend of working. Nate helped his family at the property work on the cabin, and then he came to Pocatello and helped with the patio at Mom and Dad's. The work was already in progress.

Cory and Dad started digging out grass to start making space for the larger patio. Even Tyler tried helping.
Kayla and Allie loved helping the whole time we were out there. They had so much fun digging. Kayla was a great gopher for everything we needed-water, phone, more water, camera, more water, etc.
I was finally feeling better after a crappy week, and I helped with what I could.
Everybody else came and went, but Dad was there ALL day long. He'll sure be paying tomorrow.
When Nate arrived he had fun with the sledge hammer breaking up concrete. It probably took less than 30 minutes to destroy.

We would fill the wheelbarrow (notice Dad's new toy) and Nate would haul it to the front yard. Dad tied a rope on and started pulling to help out. They "acted" like it was heavy.
That's a lot of mess that now has to be cleaned up. (We saved that part for you, Amy.)
I think they hit a "brick wall."
It was a productive day, albeit an extremely tiring day. Geee, next weekend we get to do it again.
