This Makes Two

We had a playground at our previous house that was left by the people from whom we purchased the house.  It was unstable, so Jamie and his dad spent a whole day securing it.  If you know Jamie... that playground would have survived a hurricane when he was done.

We left that sturdy gem when we sold the house last September.  We love to be outside and the house we purchased here didn't have a playground.  It is certainly not a necessity, but it is a rather helpful amenity.  Enter: construction of playground #2.  It seems silly to mention the fact that it was hot since it has been a scorching summer since late June, but it was quite hot.  And, the backyard has shade until 9am or so and then after 4pm.  No shade in the middle of the day.

The project is complete and the boys love it!  Many thanks to Bruce (Jamie's cousin) and Nate (my brother-in-law) for their help!

No photos of Nate helping as it was HOT when he showed up, and I was busy keeping track of the boys.
