A Work In Progress

Last weekend was busy...We walked in the MS Walk with Team Boies in the morning and then grabbed some lunch and came home to start on the swing set.  Thankfully Kevin offered his services to Andy and came over to assist him.  What a blessing that was - two drills, two strong men working in the hot sun with the admiration of two little rugrats who were anxiously awaiting it's completion.

You can see Riley's disappointment in the fact that he wasn't able to be as helpful as he'd hoped.

Day two:  Thankfully Kevin was available to help Andy out again.  Andy was so appreciative of Kevin's help.  These things are such a pain to build and this was Andy's second one - he built our first one by himself in Millersville for Riley's 2nd birthday present.

And this is as far as we've come.  Andy did complete the ladder which now is in the place where he's standing in the bottom picture.  There is also a section for swings and monkey bars that will attach to the left hand side.  A wooden kid-sized picnic table also came in the kit and will be put together at some point.  

The kids stayed out on it until we dragged them inside kicking and screaming to put them in the tub.  The next morning, Riley begged to play on it before school!  Both kids LOVE it and I love my husband and Kevin for building it for them!  Hopefully we'll get the swings and table built before too long!  We're hoping for more beautiful weather soon - snowed this morning and 55 mph winds yesterday!  Spring in Utah is WEIRD to say the least!
