Excavation of the foundation

Some big bulldozers and other dirt movers excavated the foundation of our house.  The cement square in the background is where our garage will be.  The foreground is the the house.  The metal poles sticking out are where the concrete will be poured for the foundation.  Before they pour the foundation, wood will be placed vertically on the cement outline of our house.

Staking out the ground

Before they build our house, they first stake out the land to mark where our property begins and ends.  The pile of gravel in the background has been there so long that you can actually see it on Google Maps!

Play date time!

After track and field practice today my friend Rafael came over for a play date.  We climbed on the monkey bars, and then were making silly faces at daddy.  We promised we wouldn't make these silly faces next week in class!  We begged daddy to let us have a sleepover, but we'll have to do it another time.  After we dropped Rafael off, I ran into two more friends of mine at Roy Rogers (Margaret and Oriri).
