The Great Outdoors

In the past 5 days, we've gotten an insta-yard (sod in the front....soon to have sod in the back), been to the zoo, and Connor helped me plant a few more perennials. We got a HUGE rain on Friday night (after the sod) but since then it has been HOT HOT HOT. For Michigan, upper 80s, lower 90s is HOT.

Here are a few yard pictures. I'll add some of our beach, wall, and backyard as soon as that sod is done. (hopefully later this week)

On Saturday, while Pat and Leslie were still here, we went to the John Ball Zoo, here in Grand Rapids. It is a small zoo, but perfect for someone Connor's age! It was fun and I'd love to go back!

And lastly, here are the dirt pictures. Connor was an amazing "helper" and just had to play in the dirt. I was very surprised he wasn't hesitant to crawl in the mulch at all...heck, it hurts my knees!He got in every hole I dug.
