Our New Patio

Eric and I had a patio poured this week and it turned out really nice. We needed something, since the one we got was only big enough for our grill. Eric talked to the concrete guys in the neighborhood (Hector and crew) and they came out, gave us an estimate, and then came back and poured all in about 3 days! I know, looking at the pictures you're thinking..."what's the big deal?". But, it will look nice once we add landscaping, maybe some flagstone, a fire pit and some new furniture and it will look just perfect. Of course this will all be a work in progress...so don't expect it took look perfect anytime in the near future.
Anyways...once we got it, Eric and I started thinking back about all the fun times we've had in our backyards with family and friends. I posted some pics of the patio we had in New Braunfels, and the deck we added to our house in West Hartford. Some fun memories from New Braunfels include backyard BBQs, sleeping babies in pack n plays so parents can hang out all night around the fire pit, Jack and Cade's babtism parties, Eric's pet deer "Dinner" hanging out and lots and lots of fun times with friends!! Some fun memories from our West Hartford deck inlcude "deck parties" after the kids are in bed, sitting very close to the patio heater on frigid nights, Easter fun with friends and, once again, many many fun times!!
Hope there's lots of great memories to come on our new patio...
