July Project






So, I forgot to tell you all about our little back yard project. Many of you have seen it so you know first hand how cool it is. Mike and I (mostly Mike) built a fire pit. It's huge. Mike constructed the frame. We filled it with 4 ton of road base (rock and dirt) and then put a washed river rock on top. The fire ring we got from a junk yard in Preston.
We took the kids camping and spent all day on Saturday chopping wood and loading the trailer. Mike's buddy from work, Mike Davis joined us and helped us cut down a lodge pole pine. It was so fun and the pine smelled great. We ended up renting a log splitter and then hauling it all over by the fire pit. The local missionaries help- We love Elder's Street and Stiles. We have since lined it with tiki torches and have enjoyed the smores. If you are craving one- come on over!! You are always welcome.
