Tree Fort Garden

This weekend the Grandparents came over and helped us get the Tree Fort Garden started. It took a lot of work to dig up the grass and dirt in preparation for the good soil. The girls are excited about having their own garden and can't wait to get it started. Grandma Carol will let them go "plant shopping" in her garden so when it's time to divide her plants the girls will be able to take them and start their own garden.

It was hard work but we had a good time talking and working together. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for helping us. We enjoyed spending the afternoon with you.
