Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad in the whole world.

The beginning of our yard work and deck building

And it has begun. The first steps of deck building and landscaping. We rented an augur to dig some holes, rented a cement mixer so we could fill holes with cement and placed some poles in the ground for the deck. Now we move onto putting in edging, laying down plastic and covering it with rock, planting grass and then getting back to the deck and finishing it. Dave is chomping at the bit to get to his deck but we have to get the landscaping done first, he calls that the work and the deck will be fun.

 

 Big boys and their toys.

 A big "gofer" attached our yard.

We had some good little hard workers. They'll remember this summer well. Shoveling dirt!

South Dakota kayak challenge

Another year...another kayak trip. He beat his time by 45 minutes! We headed to Yankton over Memorial Day weekend to launch Dave into the Missouri River for his second SD kayak challenge. He went 72 miles from Yankton, SD to Sioux City, NE. The boys and Mom were support crew. We dropped him off to launch at 7am and tracked him as he went and picked him up 11 hours later. We are proud of him and his accomplishment. Bring on next year!
