Our Park

Ever since D and I moved into our house, we always talked about how nice it would be to have a swing set/play ground thing in our yard. We don't really live close enough to a park to walk to - yes there is theoretically one within walking distance, but it is way far. So we finally decided to bite the bullet and get one for our yard. Our backyard has a flat spot and then goes up a hill to this tree filled, ground cover filled area. We decided that we would just clear out the groundcover and level it out and put it up there. And by "we would just clear it out" I mean we would hire people to clear it out. They cleared it and built the edging last weekend.
Then all week I waited for them to come and level it cause as it turned out, it was much more uneven once you got rid of all the stuff on the ground. So Friday night they came and leveled it with topsoil....and Saturday morning our swingset arrived and was assembled! The girls are so cute and call it our park! Now all that is left to do is get the mulch to put over the dirt. We are super happy with it. And I can see it from the back patio and from inside in the kitchen. So eventually the girls will be able to play outside without me!!
