Long story, but David never uses the left side of the sink, so Ken had to put water beads in it :)

The sweetest Grandpa in the world!!!!

Let the work begin.

The beginning of the sprinkler system.

David's dad and grandpa came to visit us from April 18-21 from Florida. It was a very productive few days. Ken put lots of time into the planning of the installation of the sprinkler system weeks before they even arrived. The guys did do very hard intense labor work, but on Saturday we took them to Lake Ouachita to see beautiful Arkansas and just to relax from all their hard work.

Day One: The trenching begins. Ken and Tom did not think they could do that in the half of day that David rented the machine, but somehow they pulled it off a million rocks later. After they called it a day, we had dinner and just relaxed on the deck. The weather was beautiful the whole time during their visit.

Day Two: David, Ken and Tom began the morning with some coffee and breakfast pastries, then off to work. They had to go return the trenching machine and pick up some more parts that they needed. They actually began work around 1:00 pm that afternoon. They worked very hard the rest of the day. After the work was done we grilled hamburgers on the grill and called it a night very early.

FYI: Blogger is really starting to frustrate me, the pictures never appear in the order that I want them or location, so please just enjoy the captions below them. Sorry!!

Day Three: The work on the sprinkler system continued. They actually finished at the end of the day. I can't believe how fast it was finished. What can I say, those three work great as a team. We ended up ordering pizza and wings around 9pm that night for dinner.

Day Four: We got and headed out to the lake for the day. It was a beautiful day with a great breeze. Ken gave David some pointers on boating. Once, we got back home Tom took a nap while David and Ken cleaned the boat. My job is to unload the cooler, bags, etc. We then decided to go to Mi Burrito for dinner and as always it was great.

Day Five: Ken and Tom left that morning to go back home. David and I took them to the airport and of course I teared up. I really wished that we could live closer to them. We miss you guys very much!!! We are very grateful for the hard work that you put into our sprinkler system. So, now David can enjoy a beautiful green yard without moving the hose and sprinkler around from the time he gets home to the time he goes to bed. WE LOVE YOU BOTH VERY MUCH!!!!
