Our Own Sandy Beach

We just finished a big project in our backyard. We were'nt planning such an extensive project, but you know how projects go. They tend to grow and get bigger then you had planned, take longer, cost more, but in the end you were glad you did it. It started out with getting some curbing for around our garden box, then grew to getting about 150 feet of curbing all over the yard. We needed to know how big to make the sandpile before we could do that curbing so we ended up getting a swingset. Our good neighbor Steve helped us remove grass and dirt with his tracktor, and also helped with the 3 truckloads of sand that was delivered! Come to find out, you don't need a nice planned out sand pile, you just need a pile of sand!













This was the first load of sand.






I'm glad we didn't have to wheelbarrow all the sand.


The second load of sand.

Steve hard at work, thank goodness for that.

There is never a shortage of kids playing in the backyard.

Our new swingset. Everyone does love playing on it. Jon and I even took turns on the slide. I never want to put one of these things together AGAIN!
