New Back Yard

For the last 2 years we have had dirt for a back yard, and a 5 foot drop off in to a revene behind our house. Needless to say it was not a friendly backyard for 2 toddlers. Papa Craig and Grandma Teresa decided it was time to put up a fence and give the back yard a facelift.

Finished up the retaining wall. Most of it was already done when we moved in, but we had about 3 feet on one side and 10-15 feet on the other to finish it up.

Think the boys enjoyed the tractor in the back yard? They LOVED it and Skyler even got to go for a ride! Connor just enjoyed watching it.

Working on a path to the gate that goes to the hill behind the house. Still trying to decide what to do with this half of the yard.

The boys have SO much fun riding their bikes, playing on the trampoline, getting wet on the slip and slide, with the sprinklers or hose, getting dirty in the dirt, riding their quads, etc. The boys are learning so many tricks on the trampoline! It is so nice to send them in the back yard and just let them play, and know that they are confined to the back yard, since we have the beautiful gate done! I am a happier mother now that this is available to me...thanks Papa and Grandma!
