I probably ought to relabel the title. It should be called a "work release visit." I went to dads knowing the basement was still a mess. I should have just stayed away. Just kidding. I like seeing the work in progress and I'm glad I was there. Tommy, Kim, Pat and Dad have done amazing work. I'm so pleased at the look. Dad has a flag flying outside. He usually has the old green truck parked right there but it's been down to Tommy's place. It looks nice dad.
It was decided to keep one phonograph instead of six. This was the lucky guy. The others ended up at the Goodwill. Will they get bought? Does anyone else have records?
When I arrived there was music playing from one of the records.
The playroom. Just a look so when any of you arrive you will be amazed. The sheet rock had to come off from 4 feet down. Tommy, with the help of his crew, cut and placed the sheet rock. Kim, the crew boss, also doubles as the sheet rock taper and
mudder. She's done a great job. I always thought the crew boss was supposed to take it easy but Kim is the worker bee. They also decided to replace one of the bedrooms and the play room ceiling. Sheet rock is NOT fun to put on ceilings just in case anyone wants to know.
Third fill of the dumpster.
Patrick has pots of flowers growing all around the yard. The window pot below.
My weekend help on the crew earned me a place on the bench outside.
The real crew minus Tommy. Great Job Everyone!
I better not forget Patrick's dog, Dakota. He's a very nice dog and he minds well. He's a 9 month old puppy.
Enjoying the pool. This was the first swim. We had a sprinkler guy there working on the yard with his 7 year old son "helping." We invited him to swim and 3 hours later it was time to go home. Jace said "I think I'll ask my dad if he wants me to come and help next time too."
Everyone loved the pool....Even Dad.
Sofie was an amazing swimmer. She would throw toys into the pool and collect them all at the same time with one breath. 
Natalie loved the water. 
Most of us wore our swimsuits but not Lauren. She comes with the birthday suit and loves wearing it.
These two, Natalie and Lexie, had a great time together.
Braxtyn. I love this picture. She is a great swimmer.
One of the many contests was jumping off the diving board and landing in this tube. I wonder how long the tube lasted with big boys jumping into it?
