Since you’re such a faithful blog reader, I’m sure you remember that we bought Avery a playset for her birthday. Daddy was able to rope Poppaw Clark and Grandpa Hromada into helping assemble the set. Today was the big day…the boys began setting up everything. We were expecting a sunny and warm day, but instead it was a little chilly. At least it looked cold from the comfort of the warm house where I was watching them work. After eight hours of work, the fellas were ready to call it a day. They barely stopped to eat lunch!

All of these boxes were delivered by freight truck about a week before Avery’s birthday.

Daddy, Poppaw and Grandpa had to sketch out their game plan.

Avery had to get in on the action, too. She desperately wanted to help them all day. It was too cold for her to be outside too long, and she would get in their way after awhile. So we made a few trips outside throughout the day.

 

After her nap, the teamwork had progressed to this. Avery couldn’t resist trying out the ladder and rock climbing wall.

By the end of the day, all of the hard work led to this. Chris thinks there’s about three or four hours of work still left (times three people).

We are so blessed to have family who love Avery (and Chris!) so much that they’re willing to provide manual labor to make her happy. It’s just too bad they can’t enjoy the fruits of their labor. This playset is for kids only!

It’s play time…almost
