Playground Party!!

Over Labor Day weekend, we finally decided to build a playground in the back yard for the kiddos. So, we recruited as much help as possible and got started....

It began like this....




And after 2 VERY LONG, SWEATY, STINKY DAYS....It ended like this....





Over all, I would say that everything went extremely well....not much bloodshed...of course that was because we kept my father away from any and all tools....he was only allowed to hand out hardware, and we kept Brad's father from going 90 miles an hour..so it was very productive and from what I observed everyone worked pretty well as a team....a team with about 5 coaches and 2 tiny players!!

There was even enough time for play....

The kids had more fun playing on the slide before it was assembled than they do now!!
