Yard Work

Look out Cooper. There is a new grandson on Grandpa's beloved lawn mower! Don't worry Cooper, Crew got the first ride of the year but you will get a turn when the grass is green and needs to be cut. 

Saturday the wind was blowing but the weather was somewhat decent enough for a little yard work. We started the day by planting four trees in Mom and Dad's backyard. After standing on the far corner of Mom and Dad's lot I realized that the back yard is so big that they are going to need cell phones or walkie-talkies to talk to each other while working in the yard. That could be a good gift idea for the parents but make sure its a hands free set up.

Planting new trees is a really fun activity. It put a smile on my face but I am not sure why. It is a little intimidating knowing that the location you plant the tree is final and that the tree will live and grow for many generations to come. During the tree planting Crew tripped and got his first real taste of dirt. It was sad and funny all at the same time. After all the yard work and dinner Grandma spoiled Crew with multiple bed time stories because one is never enough.
