Our growing yard

Trace has done an awesome job turning an empty dirt lot into an incredible outdoor living space. 

In about one year we have transformed it into our favorite place to be!

Peas & corn & squash

Today Anabelle and I planted the three sisters. Corn, peas, & squash. The corn gives the peas something to climb, the peas give the corn nitrogen, and the zucchini and yellow squash grow along the bottom and act as mulch keeping the roots cool. Neat!  Thanks Pinterest!  

There's not much to see yet but we have 35 mounds ready to grow!  

Stepping Stones

Saturday was Traces bday and Anabelle got him a kit to make stepping stones to put in the garden. She's gas been having a ball mixing the plaster in the mold and painting each stone. I learned the hard way that acrylic paint is not washable. Yesterday we also made a painting dress. So look forward to seeing her creations in the yard next time you come by. 

Back on the Blog...

I've decided to try blogging again....  I just logged in and it's been TWO YEARS since my last post!  Where does the time go?  I won't spend all of my time back dating posts but I will do some.  I look forward to sharing our Griffith Family Adventure with you again.

LA Zoo

Anabelle went to the LA Zoo for the first time with Gramma Beth and Papa Jim.  She saw elephants, monkeys, tigers, and more.  Her favorite part was the Carousel  she rode it over and over and got to pick a new animal to ride on each time.
