Board games, birthdays and new patios,

My Grandma and Grandpa gave me my birthday presents early (I'll be 16), one was a game called Khet where you try to zap your opponent with a built in laser by moving around mirrors and towers, it is a lot of fun! Another present they got me was a throwing star (see sidebar) Jacob got one too, they are really fun to throw and they stick into wood very well.

This weekend we prepared for a new patio and pathway by breaking up our old patio and laying and packing gravel for the concrete (I'll make a short video of that), the concrete might be done by this Saturday, so if that is the case I'll post some pictures. :)



Here are some pictures of us working,


Dad helping Grandpa pour the gravel in the right spot,


Jonah posing for the camera,


Joseph having fun while riding the tractor with Grandpa,


Jacob flattening the gravel with a uh... vibrator?



Here is the video we've been waiting for!!

I hope it's funny I haven't watched the hole thing in one shot yet. :)




As I said somewhere else I will put pictures of our new patio and garden up when they get done.

Enjoy! :)

  2. Great video Jonathan! Pirates Cove sounds fun -- was that your game or Austins'? We're really excited to see how your new patio will look -- be sure to take a video as soon as it goes in! Love you and talk to you later!

  3. The previous comment was actually by us but you probably figured that out! I think I hit the wrong button! Also take a video shot of your mom's garden when she gets it planted & the front of your house when her plants go in. Thanks!
