Fixing the Fence

It is said that good fences make good neighbors. Well, our neighbor decided to hang his hammock on one of the fence posts that his side yard shares with our backyard and, as such, the fence was in need of repair (some people, really!).

Collin took the initiative a few weeks back to repair said fence, and of course Ronan was more than happy to help.

Ronan found the bubble in the level fascinating.

Latham was in the house with me, but the goings-on outside were just too interesting to stay indoors. How could I say no to this face?!?

Are six hands better than two? Probably not, but Daddy didn't mind the extra "help".

After the job was completed (or as much could be done until the concrete set), we had a picnic in the backyard.

Daddy finished up the project this past weekend while the boys were visting Nana and Grandpa up north. It was amazing how much faster everything went without the little helpers around!
