Neighborhood Hangout

No doubt about it now! We are definitely the neighborhood hangout since we’re the only ones on the block with a play structure! Lucky for me that we found two guys willing to spend their entire weekend (for pay mind you) putting this monstrocity together. It took them @14 hours, but compared to Todd and I spending a whole summer just making sense of the 75 pg. instruction booklet, it was worth every penny! The kids patiently waited, watched and waited some more, especially Ryan who basically just camped out with them. Within minutes of our arrival from an afternoon in Omaha, the neighbors who’d obviously also been waiting and watching descended upon us and it was “kidfest” in our very own yard. I guess it’s only fitting that the house with the most kids has the most toys? Anyway, special thanks to Advanced Landscapes for saving my summer by granting our boys an outdoor diversion (and reason NOT to scrapbook) and me a bit of peace from the “I’m bored, there’s nothing to do” mantra!
