It rained all day yesterday. :( Therefore, we were not able to finish the patio, but the boys were able to get some of the work done. They were able to tamp the stones down (although that was dramatic because in the process some of the pavers broke and they ended up having to replace about 8 of them). I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the tamping process, but maybe that's a good thing because they wouldn't have been happy pictures. :) They also filled the dirt back in around the edge of the patio. So the only thing left to be done once it dries is the sand on top and putting on the step.

I forgot to mention they also had to add some pvc pipe to our AC unit drainage to route the water away from the patio. Another trip to Lowes! Now if they would only put some outdoor tables on clearance, we might have some furniture out there. ;)
On that note, summer is over and it's back to reality (kind of) today with the first of 5 teacher workdays. Cross your fingers that Hope decides a bottle will be ok today!

I bet you will be looking forward to that cuteness! :) thanks for sharing the patio story in words and pics - it looks really nice, and it has been fun keeping up with the progress :)
