June is always so busy for us. The winding down of school and that busy schedule gets replaced with a more relaxed but still project-oriented busy, esp. outdoor projects. This year Lauren wanted to lay a patio and have it done for Father's Day. My birthday fell in the middle of the two week span she devoted to the project from planning, buying and assembly. So we squeezed some fun in there for that too! So here are some before, during and after photos.

Oh My Gosh, I love it! It looks so good! Beautiful job Lauren! Reminds me of landscaping with shelly! YIKES! JK it was great family fun! Love ya -H
I swear that girl can do ANYTHING she puts her mind to! Doesn't this project count somewhere for personal progress?
Bravo Lauren! I'm so impressed!
It better! It was like a whole Eagle Scout project except she didn't write up the conclusion or keep track of volunteer hours but everything else. AND she will need to do 7 more projects of equal difficulty to earn her Young Women award, which is just a piece of paper now saying "way to go". AND we just take it and say "oh well we will just be bigger than the boys". And of course, we all know that never changes:}
Love all the pix and the project is awesome, Lauren. Go, girl, go! Very impressive! Love, Grandma Jan
