All in a day's work...

It started with a patch of thick green grass and by tonight, it has a beautiful play set added to it in our wonderful backyard! The day went something like this....
By 9am, the crew (Jamie, Greg, Arnie and Ryan), were scurrying around the yard reading directions, fishing for the right hardware and digging to ensure a level surface.
Definite progress was made when construction on the roof started.
Regan took a dip in the pool while waiting, oh so patiently waiting, for the play set to be finished.
Cindy opted out of swimming and instead, took a position here to supervise :) Looks comfy!
The sun came out and construction was almost finished! Just need swings and a slide...details!
But at last, by almost 9pm, the swing was ready for some fun and boy did the kids enjoy it!
It was closer to 9:30 before the slide was finished, well after Sidney's bedtime. She'll be excited to see it in the morning and Regan became an expert tonight. She flies right off the end so I can only imagine Sidney might land down by the shed! Thankfully it doesn't go towards the pool or they'd end up in it!
It was a rough day! Ashley decided to eat straight from the cake pan tonight! Her exact words to me as I walked in were "don't even look!".
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to Ashley, Jamie, Hudson, Paxton, Cindy, Greg, Sheri and Arnie for spending your entire Saturday getting this swing set both started and finished. We love you all for your amazing help!!! Next time you come up, it's just to enjoy!
