Working hard!

Moving into our new home means A LOT of projects! It was built in 1985, but the owner before us was a Realtor/investor and he remodeled the entire thing and finished the basement. There were no appliances and no landscaping or grass in our big backyard, so we set to work! Matt built this huge swingset for the kids and then built a playbox around it filled with pea gravel for them to play in.
The kids were so fascinated watching the big gravel truck deliver and pour the gravel onto our driveway! (oh by the way, we have two friends over visiting)
Notice what a big help Hunter and Baylie are being with their teeny shovels.... :)

Hunter still using the shovel to.... um, help.........
We stayed up past dark just trying to get all the gravel in the box!

Baylie is so excited to have swings! She and Hunter both then just learned how to pump and now enjoy "who can go higher?" contests.

Very impressive, Matt! The kids will be so very blessed to have such a great play area! Dale built one for the monkeys when we lived in Spokane. I remember the hard work he did, and the joy on the faces of the kiddos when he was finished! You are a good daddy!
