Yard of Rocks

To elaborate a little further on the high desert thing... Not only is water scare here but the soil is expansive too (making foundations unique here). Because of these 2 things, they require homeowners to have multiple feet of rock surrounding your house before you can plant any grass (to keep water away from the foundation and to conserve on water used).

At first, I have to admit I thought this looked very weird but you kind of get used to it and right now a smaller yard to mow and maintain is alright by me.

Anyway back to the rocks - so we have thousands of rocks surrounding our house. Can you guys think of anything fun that we could possible do with a bunch of rocks while you are out here?

Malia standing in our front yard filled with rock (there is a small patch of grass on the other side of the driveway).

Malia really likes to play in the rocks although she can't walk on them very steadily yet.
