FYI our patio out by the swing is now finished. AND, as a bonus highlight of this post, you MUST watch this video...and check out some of this kid's other videos on YouTube. What an amazing talent.
It's made from blocks of our neighbor's patio they took out. It's pretty small, only about 6 feet by 7 feet, but I've put in a rock wall around it and it makes a nice little place to sit and enjoy the yard.

Lucky for me the Internet decided to have some good suggestions on where to go around here, and I found this one . Previous to this experience, I've only been "Mountain Biking" at Sundance. In some ways this trail was better than Sundance, in other ways it wasn't as good. Namely that it has a good 30-40 minutes of climbing before you get to any downhill (Sundance has a lift, negating the need to climb). Climbing uphill on a bike for 30 minutes wears you out fast. I had to take a few breathers. I think I took a few wrong turns too. But, what wants to go down must go up first. I wish I could relate to you how much fun it is to bike on mountain trails, particularly the downhill ones . Flat are good too, but downhill is a blast. You go through the forest, over streams, thro...
