Back yard- Garate style

After a sad goodbye to a fun filled week with the Garates, we were left with one little reminder of them: OUR NEW AND IMPROVED BACK YARD!!

Within a matter of hours, Ben and Sara had completely renovated our back yard. With Ben's precise measurement and Sara's speedy little fingers, we had ourselves a sparkling new backyard hang out. What used to be a "nice place to sit sometimes when it's hot" is now our most favorite place to be any hour of the day.

From this:
















TO THIS!!!!





THANK YOU BEN AND SARA! ....and Gwen, Kennedy, and Tito for keeping yourselves busy for 3 1/2 hours on a 10 x 10 square of concrete (and a box). It was really fun to work on this project with all of you. What's next, a third story? Love you guys :)

LOVE IT!! I'm so glad you posted pics! The sod seems to be coming in nicely and I love the contrast of the dark bark and that green, green grass.

Oh, but you forgot to add one little part... I seem to remember 2 Orrs who did a monster portion of the labor. Just sayin'... ;)

Oh, and I'm NOT going to mention a 3rd story to Ben. Can you imagine what sort of ideas that would trigger?!? ;)
