After a busy Saturday we spent Sunday at home. We did not leave our street. Did not get in the car. There was one minor exception, Jason moved our cars back into the driveway. This doesn't sound very special until you are aware we have been parking in the street for the past month due to the huge pile of soil that took up our driveway. Weekend commitments, work travel, and rain kept our (Jason's) retaining wall project on hold for a bit. I am pleased to report the wall structure is nearly complete. Now it is simply a pile of mulch between our cars and the garage. Progress!
While Jason worked on the wall in the morning, Colton had the chance to experience his first ride on the lawn mower. (Followed by several more throughout the morning)
As Jason painstakingly layed 45 pound bricks, moved crushed stone, and dug into the ground to ensure our 37 foot monster of a wall was level, Colton sat on the mower... and sat on the mower. For a good part of the morning I stood by and was entertained by the various mower noises Colton made.
In his glory
Colton's mowing ended with a THREE hour nap. Jason finished his work in the afternoon and when Colton woke up we graciously accepted an invite to swim in our neighbor's pool. Thank you Harry & Cathy (for the pool and the borrowed mower)!
All ready to go!
Colton's favorite part was watching Dooley take a swim.
After dinner, we wrapped up an evening on Tranquility with a game of catch that was more like fetch. It was also recent that we discovered Colton can count!
(look closely and you'll see the mulch!)
