It started off with meeting some of the Rich family at the Porterville Cemetery. Many of Roger's and my ancestors are buried here.
We worked in the WHITE FAMILY plots, to get the timbers designating the boundaries replaced.
It was great to work together. I didn't do much work - just took alot of pics. Camryn and Treyson had a great time running around, finding treasures, and exploring.
One observation. When did the "boys" (Zac and Jared) become the "bosses"? It was interesting to see who the measurer's and cutters were.............
And who the worker "grunts" were...........
Funny how time marches on, and our little ones grow up to be men, and their dads step back and let them take over. It really is the circle of life. It was such a good morning.
And it looked GREAT when it was all done.
After the cemetery, we went to Zac's to move some sand into the sandbox. He had two loads delivered, and rented a skidsteer from Ace Hardware, to move the HUGE PILE. I didn't get pics of that - but here's the finished project (almost).
Treyson and Cam had fun playing in the sand and water. They got a little sunburned before we remembered sunscreen.
You would think they were on the beach - huh?Manda and CJ went and picked up Subway, and we had a picnic in the shade..........
The kids had fun running through the sprinklers.
It was a beautiful day - warm (HOT in the sun) and I wish we could do it more often. Just being together, getting something accomplished, enjoying each other's company, and watching kids be kids.

Your post made me smile. The Lafitte's had the same kind of weekend. We worked alot in the yard and it was fun to see the boys boss each other around about mowing the lawn and spraying weeds one minute and then tootling around the yard on their scooters the next. I didn't want the day to end. I could have stayed out in the sunshine pretty-ing up my yard forever! It made coming to work very very hard on Monday :) Thanks for the great post!
