We took a huge vacation this summer that began with my brother’s wedding and grew to include a trip to the beach and a tour of Virginia. When we came home, the backyard and the children’s playground was completely overgrown with weeds:

So, we had to tackle it.

Here’s Fletcher kinda stunned by the enormity of the task (can you see the weeds are taller than he is?) LOL

We had cattle panels that had been lying in the grass that were completely buried.  The boys had to get them out of there before the area could be mowed:

Some of them were so stuck, that they needed a bit more muscle than the boys could provide:

With all the stuff flying from the mowing and weed wacking – Greyden decided to get protected.  I think the snow gloves are a nice touch, don’t you?

I’d like to report that it is all finished, but there’s still quite a few weeds to pull up in the playground.  The rest of it is in good shape, though.
