Playground Phase 1

 

We are working on building a natural playground for Owen (i.e. we’re too cheap to buy and don’t like the look of those gigantic jungle gyms)!  We’ve been scouring the internet for ideas but started with a swing and a slide.  Fortunately we found a slide on Craigslist for $25!!  Then we decided to bury it in the hill… Ryan did all the work!

Turns out the trowel is much better for digging in clay!

It was all finished by the time Owen woke up from his nap!

And the swing… I’ll have more pictures of this coming soon!

And one more time on the slide.  I don’t have a picture, but he put his little toy cars next to the slide so they could watch him “go fast”

Phase 2 will be more challenging, but hopefully we’ll get to it soon!
