The old fashioned merry go round was an enormous hit
Round and round they went for hours

Heavy skies
Dash Point Beach at low tide again
We had the place to ourselves to frolic at will
Landry ended up in a freshwater stream, throwing sticks downstream
Then throwing them back upstream
When he got so cold that he could no longer balance we retired to Hazel’s “cookie dough sand” area
Later: gratefully stripped down and snuggled in

Transforming truck
It was right near here that we saw a worktruck transform into a traincar! Really!

Same time, different places
Here’s Landry at lunchtime
Clearly at home, having napped
Meanwhile, Hazel went on a special lunch expedition with Supey and Grandma Linda!
Later the kids flew a homemade kite together

Fence installation completed
Ta-dah! The new fence is complete!
Wider view
Here’s our whole stretch of yard/house from the magnolia tree. You can see the perpendicular bit with a gate on the far right (And this picture was taken before we moved the slide into the pool today.)
Behind Landry is the corner where the new fence (almost) meets our neighbors’ existing fence

Annual Landry series
It’s June and that means it’s time for Landry’s annual photo series (like Hazel’s each April). In fact, there are still two series of pictures for Mr. L; perhaps it will drop down to one eventually.

Fence installation day 2
Hazel learned how to mix concrete today
Our fence installer has four kids including a five-year-old so he’s great with Helper Hazel
Shoe shower time

Fence installation day 1
Hazey was a big help to our fence man today
Soon there will be a wooden privacy fence where the chain link one is, and a perpendicular portion to enclose the backyard
It’ll look a bit like this other side but without the magnolia tree
