Recently we have been wanting to spice up our landscaping around our house. We decided what better way to spice things up than a giant rock. Giant rocks don't come at a cheap price at the landscape places but luckily for us we were able to get this beauty from my parent's ranch. It has been sitting at my parents house for a few weeks while their rocks were being placed. Finally the day came when our rock was to be delivered. I know that when you first see this picture you may be thinking, hey that rock is right in the middle of their lawn. It wasn't supposed to be there but let me tell you what happened. The landscapers brought over the rock. It is huge as you can tell and they estimate it weighs 4-5 tons. Of course with all of the wonderful rain we have been getting our grass was wet. I thought the lawn would be dry enough to handle it but just when they pulled onto the lawn they started sinking. The heister was so loaded down with the rock that the back of the heister basically wasn't on the ground anyway and 3 guys were hanging on just to keep it from tipping over. They kept sinking and eventually left about a 2 foot hole. They weren't able to move the rock anymore so there it will sit, until the grass dries enough for them to finish moving it.
Remy loves the hole in the yard. He thinks it is just the perfect size for chillaxing in. Everytime we go in the front yard he wants to go and sit in the hole.
They even already had the hole dug out where the rock is supposed to go. Remy thinks it is also a fun place to go and eat dirt. Hopefully the rock will get to it's final home soon and I will have to post some pictures of it.
Here is a photo of the "Remy TTF&F" that I talked about in my previous post. I have decided that he can only have limited access to it because he is constantly wanting to throw more stuff down there. Below you see him wanting to go down in the TTF&F rather than go to church. Luckily I already had the baby gate up.

That rock is massive! I'm sure it left quite the dimple in your yard! It is going to look so nice in your yard. I would love to do some different landscaping but haven't got a clue what I'm doing ha ha.
I love the little sneak peaks of your house & yard. It looks beautiful! That rock is awesome. I desperatly need to hire someone to do some landscaping for me. I am not creative at all in knowing what to do. Against Remy's wishes I'll cross my fingers for ya they are able to move the giant planet out of the middle of your yard soon, lol.
