The "Park"

Here are the pictures of the finished "park." A special thanks to my brother-in-law Jon and my Dad for helping Tim put this monster together. (It was a lot of work - so it seemed to me from the sidelines...)And Mom and my sister Amy for coming and keeping me and the kids entertained! Jenna enjoyed watching the My Little Pony movie and "Annie" while playing with ponies! It is very much appreciated - especially by the girls!

Below is a picture of Tim - it is SUPPOSED to be a picnic table area for four kids but one Tim barely fits!! HAHA
And I had to post this picture just because Tim always says this and he has it on a shirt...
Isn't it pretty?? Jenna is enjoying the glider solo. We also have that Little Tikes slide that Ash will be able to use soon (Jenna LOVED this when she was younger!) and we have a ladybug sandbox that is not in these pictures. They will also be in the park enclosure. I should also explain the chair in this picture. This is where Tim sits whilst pushing the girls in their swings. I love it!
Is has a door that opens and closes, a bell and a mailbox. Yes, there is mail in there...Even Molly is pleased with the final product:

I absolutely LOVE the playground! Your backyard will soon become the popular place for the little kids in the neighborhood to hang out! Our plan is that as soon as Hubby is finished med school & we move into a house with a backyard (boy, do I hate living in a townhouse right now!), we'll be putting in a playground for the little munchkins (geez, Gabrielle will already be in 1st grade!) Luckily for right now, we have a playground that we walk to down the street. But nothing beats your own play area in the privacy of your backyard!
