The Driveway

Our interesting news this week ~ our driveway was completely re-done and is now concrete! It looks BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait until it's dried completely and we can 'play' on it :) A big thank you to Mimi and Poppop for helping make this much needed project a reality.

Check out the pictures for the whole process:

Digging started on Tuesday afternoon....

more digging and the frames going up:

and the concrete was poured on Saturday....here is the first pour:

First half done! The guys had to wait for it to start to harden,

and then they put this nice pattern in and finished off the edges:

The second half being poured:

Chloe was watching a lot during the morning....
she was making sure they were doing it right :)

Here are the guys putting the pattern onto the concrete- they stayed on those boards the whole time they were on the surface - good balancing act!

Isn't it pretty? :)

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
