August 19: Play Day

So this morning, I checked out the finished door for the carriage house!  It's beautiful.  Roge stayed at the shop to work on another addition for the backhoe.  

The mahogany door.

Then, when I got to Hearthstone, Eric and his boys, Colin & Cash, were over to play and explore.  Then Becca and Reilly came over.  We went back down to the creek by the waterfall to jump (i.e. slowly creep) the rocks.  Then they were a huge help in pulling up the old brick walk to stack them on the palettes so that we can use the brick later to rebuild the walkway.  Rocky gave the kids rides on the backhoe---it made their day!  Then Reilly, Becca, and I went to the dollar store for some toys to keep at Hearthstone.  We got bug catchers, wiffle ball, butterfly nets, chalk (school and sidewalk), jump ropes, and some other fun things.  Our neighbor, Molly, came over to play too!  We wasted no time in writing on the slate on the wall and the driveway.  After one more creek stomping session, we were tuckered out!  We had a blast!  Check out the pictures...
