After letting me sleep in for a bit, Allen went out to work. He got about 8 hours in and got tons done. He dug 24 post holes - each of them 2 feet deep to hold the 4x4's were using to brace the sides of the play area. He leveled the ground, put up string lines to make sure all was square, and then attached a 4x4 every 4 feet on the 2x8x16's we're using as boundaries. We'll be putting down landscape plastic, sand, and then pea gravel. We looked into rubber mats (like at some McDonald's play places), but they want $25 per square - and we would need 120 of them! For rubber shreds, it would be $1200. Pea Gravel? $60. Sorry Lexi, but you'll have to be tough.
Lexi wanted to wear her hat and be like Allen, but started crying the minute I tried to get the shot. Go figure.
Our little helper. She especially likes to pull on the string lines once Allen has them set. Fun!

Sorry about your weekend. It sounds about as fun as mine! Who new once you became a grown up you never had summers or holidays off? There is always work to be done. Miss ya. - Laura
