Darrell spent tons of time getting rid of the black lava rock in the flower beds. Here are some before and after pictures.
Darrell put the lava rock into a rented garbage dumpster.
When the waste management company came to pick up the dumpster, the dumpster was so heavy that it started to bend the crane they used to lift it. The company ended up bringing us another dumpster and poor Darrell had to shovel out half of the lava rock from one dumpster and put it in the other one. Darrell's own words: "I NEVER want to see another lava rock again!"
Every week the city's "parks management crew" would come and mow the open green space across the street from us. Tyler loved watching the mowers.
Some summer evenings our little family would go for a walk. Sometimes we'd stop at the neighborhood school for Tyler to play on the slides. The girls hung out in their car seats in our double stroller.
Tyler discovered he loved "cycles," as he called them. He'd eat 3 or 4 every evening.
This summer was all about Tyler learning about being a big brother.
I love these pictures of Tyler feeding his baby a bottle.

I wouldn't want to see any lava rocks either after all of that shoveling. Thanks for posting the pictures of the summer activities...I hear it's not looking so much like summer there today (blizzard!).
Derek beat me (although he should have been in bed . . .). I bet Darrell was SUPER buff after all that shoveling. :)
I LOVED going to the school to play on the slides when I was little. Oh summer. *sigh*
