Eighty-six tons of rock, twelve tons of sand, one happy girl!
Savannah could spend the entire day playing outside as long as someone is around to push her on demand. Luckily, Nana and Papa are here to follow orders for one more day.
The elders quorum president arranged to have a bunch of men and a backhoe here to move rock last Saturday. Men started showing up at 7:30 (fifteen total!) and by 9:00 they had leveled half the rock and all of the sand. These are people who had never met us, but showed up because we needed help. I am still in awe of their kindness.
Steve has been hard at work for two weeks assembling the swingset, digging trenches, laying sprinklers and more. What would we do without him?
Jeremy found another use for his quad and Steve thought it looked like fun. That is a piece of a pizza oven conveyer belt they are using to level the ground. Boys and their toys!
Here are a few pics of what we've done so far:
Swingset and sandbox
Before rock
After rock
Fire and horseshoe pits
Who wants to make a reservation???

that picture of Steve is great! How fun for Annie to have such a great spread. Still checking my calendar. :)
It looks great!! I would like to make reservations. I will bring the girls to keep Savannah busy and we can play.
I love the picture of Jer and his dad leveling the ground. I remember doing that as a kid, but that was back in the "olden days". Instead of a four wheeler, it was my dad and he pulled all of us kids (4) around on a wood pallet. Oh the memories.
