Saturday was a beautiful sunny day with a little bit of rain. Ben, Olivia and I spent the the day at our friend's, Justin and Belinda's. You see they have a little project going on in their back yard! They've put in a wonderful pool in their backyard but are now having to tackle a huge dirt pile (mountain!) and some very large stumps. So, the guys spent the day playing in the dirt-lol!
This picture is from another day when the tree was being cut down but it gives you an idea of the back yard with the mound of dirt to the left and the pool to the right...
Ben working the bobcat...this is about half of the pile they started with!
Justin taking a turn at the giant mound of dirt...
Ben back to work...there really is a yard under that mound!
Now onto the stump/half a tree!Despite a rain delay, the guys got back to work...
After much chopping and digging or the tree roots...the stump came down!(To the right of the picture is the pool)
Ben's handy work...
Justin's look of...not another picture!
Job accomplished!
Though it was said by Ben that him and Justin could "visit in another lifetime"...the girls enjoyed a wonderful day of "visiting" by sunny in the pool and playing in the rain!Belinda got some great shots of Olivia!
Here is Olivia sporting her bikini picked out by Granny before Olivia was born! A perfect fit for this summer :)
Beautiful Blue Eyes
It took Olivia a little time to ease into the pool even though the water was a great temperature. She liked siting on the ladder since that is where she could touch. She even went down the ladder steps until her mouth was in the water!
This was also a great view of Daddy and Justin working...
Mommy & Olivia
Belinda enjoying some sun :)
Olivia venturing onto the raft.
It didn't take long for her to get comfortable!
She found the box of goggles!
Ready for a water fight ;)
It started to rain but it was still so nice out we were able to stay out under the canopy. They guys kept working for a while and Olivia played in the rain like it was a shower!
Here she is dancing a little...Giving Zaw high five!
All that playing in the pool and rain makes a girl hungry...learning to eat watermelon.
Finally figuring out to eat the red not the green!
Olivia and Emma Lou in the background.
Mommy and Olivia starting to dry out...
All nice and dry and what does she do? Find the wet toy on the deck!
It was lots of fun when she realized...
she could see her hands...
and feet through the tube!
Olivia and Pearl...yes, giving and getting kisses!
