It's time for a playground at Brooke's house
We got Ellie a sandbox for Christmas 2014
Brooke wanted to put in a yard before the sandbox went in
Then she wanted to knock some dead trees down before
the sandbox and swingset went in
Now the yard is in and the trees are down and the
weather is amazing
Chris had this Friday off and I didn't have to do jury duty
so we headed over
The play yard will be back there under the trees
and so will the bigger sandbox
But first you have to play in the little one to bide
your time or jump off the deck
or get a ride on the dolly
All they really needed was a box not a whole swing set
Back to the deck for killing some time
A picnic outside
Don't really know why he's got a fork in his other hand
maybe for balance
Coming along
Pete's down for a nap. Ellie got to skip hers today
so she could watch the progress
and play in the 'canoe'
Top beam up
Where is Ellie?
Pop!!
Swing holds going in
Just chillin'
We put her to work. She's holding the screws and passing
them out as needed
and supervising
She is too dang cute
First trip (of many) up the climbing wall
Ready to be the first one down the slide
and the second
She was ecstatic
"Dirt"
"Hey wait, I might be able to do that too/"
Watering of plants
She is a big helper
"I'll just water whatever is over here"
Getting excited for the sandbox
From garage
to play area
16 bags of sand
Ellie couldn't wait
Pete was so proud of himself for getting over that seat
Pete is going to love this. Now how to keep the sand
in the box?! Not gonna happen
Very fun spot!!
