He did it! We almost did it.

Zach is awesome. He completely installed a new garage door opener on his own! In addition, he brillantly added supports to our wall to allow the canoe to hang up on the garage wall. He had attempted to hang it last week, but when we went to hang it, the points of the canoe hit the wall less than an inch before the hooks would be able to hook on the canoe. We spent a good amount of time outside yesterday (Zach more than me) in the garage working on that space. Things are starting to pick up in there.

Sorry for the horrible picture, but it is done!

The canoe hanging on the wall instead of outside or on the garage floor where the cars belong.

After working on the garage, we had some friend over to hang out last night. We ended up playing Hoopla (like Cranium, but everyone is on one team racing the clock). After 2 rounds, one of our friends suggested not stopping the timer when someone guessed something correctly. We were so close to winning. We were able to guess 31 correct answers in 15 minutes. The time buzzed as Zach was getting up to act out the last card. Pretty impressive I must say.
