what started out as just putting together a swing set turned out to be a major renovation, thanks to my mom. she is always getting these big ideas for my dad to do.
so, while some people wonder what my dad the physics teacher does during his summer "vacation," they should know that my mom has all kinds of fun plans. here my dad and uncle benno are working out a real-life physics problem. luckily i was at grandma's while this was going on.
that tree eventually crushed and buried dad's chain saw, so he called in the pros to take down the last 5 giant pine trees to clear the yard for my new playground.
barley is feeling a little worried...
how are mom and dad going to lay 10 palettes of sod in one day?
here's what my yard looked like before we got new grass. it was really, really muddy from the floods and all that snow we had.
thankfully uncle benno showed up after lunch to help my mom and dad. they weren't getting much done on their own.
there is still lots of work to do, and i don't have a swing set yet, but it sure is nice having a new yard to play in!
