We finished!!  This weekend Seth and my dad took up the grass, secured the surrounding logs and shoveled in a TON of gravel for the kid’s play area.  The kids have been playing in it ever since, and even the rest of us have enjoyed the shady area. My brother, Stephen, and his wife, Becky, came over yesterday and we all sat out after dinner and enjoyed the sitting area.  So, thanks again Seth, and thanks dad (my dad) for all the hard work and sweat.  We love it!!
