One of the projects on Erik's To Do List this summer was to build a small retaining wall.  He finally found time the first weekend in September.  Technically he did still get it done in the summer, since summer doesn't officially end until Sept 21st, right?

Of course, no project is possible without the amazing help of 2 little boys!

The final product!

That Tall Guy is handy, I guess I'll keep him around.

Helping Dad is hard work...

Our last camping trip of the season was the second weekend in September.  We were hoping for some crisp fall weather, instead we got about 100 degrees with 90% humidity.  Thank goodness the pool was still open!
