New Patio & Garden

It is finished! We are now just trying to get some grass to grow around it, but our stone patio is now finished. Of course it cost much more than expected but we are already enjoying it. The weather has been so nice, we have almost every meal out there (makes clean up great) and had our first fire.
The ice cream truck is normally prohibited in our area, but one snuck in and we got sherbert for the kids. Marley eating her push pop on the new patio.
Now that the patio is done, Ty's beloved equipment has left. But we had to take a few last pics.









This is our garden. We had cantaloupes, okra, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cilantro, a grape vine, beans, broccoli, blueberries, & red lettuce this year. Some of it has done great and others not too much.
Some of the things we planted didn't do so well, like our carrots. Here is Ty with almost our entire crop of carrots.

Here is a little carrot man we made!

Wow the patio looks great! I can't wait to see it in person and hang out on it. Love the pic of Ty on all the equipment and I know you are glad it is finished. The carrot man is too cute. Have a great week and thanks for sharing.

That looks great! Eric was just telling me how you guys were doing this (somehow I missed the large pieces of equipment when we were up there for the 4th :)) When can we come check it out in person? :)
