The start of our playground





Our sister in law, Wendy, forwarded me an email about a free Rainbow play structure. It is approximately 13 years old, but in great shape. I was the first to respond... so it is ours! :) It was originally $3,000! It doesn't have the rock wall, binoculars, or ship's wheel, but it is still awesome.Grant rented a sod ripper and spent all day ripping out a section of our grass and another day preparing the ground for this delivery of gravel. The missionaries came over to help spread the gravel and the three of them got it done in 2 1/2 hours. This free play structure has now cost us about $600 in materials and rentals. Hopefully, our boys love it and use it for years and years. Parker was SO excited about an actual dump truck in our driveway leaving him a present of a rock pile! He immediately climbed in. I'm not sure if he'll play on the play structure more or in the rocks! More pictures to come when we get the structure up.
