Patio Building!

We are currently working on building a flagstone patio in our backyard, so we can enjoy sitting outside once in awhile.  Our backyard is nice and cool (well, relative to the 110 degree heat on our front porch which is made of brick and exposed to the afternoon sun!), so we want a place where we can relax out there.  Nate jackhammered up our existing concrete pad, then pulled up a bunch of sod, graded it all, hauled in crushed granite to form a layer below the concrete, and we are now slowing making progress with installing the actual flagstone.  My job has been to put together the puzzle pieces of the flagstone, while Nate cements them down and levels them.  I really think it's going to be beautiful once it's finished.  Here are some photos of Hayden "helping" his daddy.  He's even wearing a bandana like daddy :)
