Dakota's Trees and More

This tree climbing thing has really continued to grow on Dakota.  Every day he want to go out to the park and climb trees.  On the way to the park this week we headed down the spiral stairs off the deck and when he looked up it just seemed like a good picture.   Then it was off to the park for some trees. 

 

 Recently at Kids Place, the wonderful little school that Dakota goes to, when I was picking him up he was not to be interrupted because he was in the middle of building a road.  Here he is with the construction cones up.  He and his friend Brady swept the area clear, place the construction cones, and were just laying down the first layer of gravel.  When we got home he asked if we could go buy some concrete so that "tomorrow" when I go to school we can finish our road by putting concrete on top of the gravel.  I explained to him that he would need to talk to his teacher about installing a permanent road.  So that was his plan for the next day.

Final note for this post... Even though it has gotten down to 32 some nights, our apricot tree is still holding its flowers. Yeah!  We are still just crossing our fingers that we don't get a hard frost.
