Right as we were leaving for the Saturday Morning Session, I received a call from Dad. He wanted to know if I wanted to go then to go and get some mulch. (I had talked with him earlier in the week to see if we could find some time to go.) Well, after his call, Zachary and I ran to get our work clothes knowing that right after the session we are going to head down there. Dad was awesome. We ended up making two trips to pick up mulch. I ended up with a huge pile in front of my garage. Dad said that I would be forever until I got that moved.
By the time we were done running around, there was a storm blowing in. Dad told Zachary and I to hurry home to get as much of the mulch protected as possible before the rain hits. Zachary and I started working. Using a 5-gallon bucket, a square shovel, and a snow shovel, check out our results:
The pile got moved. We ended up working in the dark by the end of it, but we did it. Zachary worked like a dog. He was such a hard worker. I was very impressed and lucky to have had him there with me.
We were very tricky as we were moving the mulch onto the patio. We built a supporting wall around it so we could build the pile higher without going wider.
Zachary decided to plant a flag on top of our mountain of mulch. He wanted to call it Mt. Everest but I think we settled for Mt. Mulch.
Needless-to-say, when we finally got inside and cleaned up (we were ABSOLUTELY FILTHY), we got something to eat and watched a show on TV. We went to bed and both of us slept VERY well that night. My back was a little sore the next day.
Conference Sunday was wonderful!! Here is Zachary enjoying conference. :)
He really was listening, but I did sneak this picture quickly. I had a great time Zachary! Thanks for coming and spending the weekend with me!!!
