Garden Boxes

We just finished up our 4 new garden boxes. They are 12’ long x 3’ wide x 2’ tall. It took about 12 yards of topsoil to fill all of them. That was a lot of shoveling dirt! We had to shovel it once into the wheelbarrow then again from the wheelbarrow to the garden box.

 

We are really excited to have them finished. The soil here is very thick clay and doesn’t do well with planting gardens. Our carrots last year were about an inch long.

 

Now we are on to our next project, staining the deck.

New Trampoline

The boys final got their own trampoline. They were VERY excited. Anytime we go to someone’s house that has a trampoline they can’t seem to get enough of it.

 

The other day we put the sprinkler under it for the first time and Mason absolutely loved it. One of their favorite things to do on the trampoline is to play fight. Both of them are big into Pokémon and Ben 10 so they like to act their shows out on the trampoline.

 

Right now Mason and Caleb are going to a Summer Camp and they are in Swimming Lessons. They have both been doing very good.
