Fun in the Sun

On Sunday, Grandma Dressler, Jim, Uncle Jake, Stephanie, Olivia, Joseph, Jason, and I built a swing set. Grandma and Jim gave Joseph the swing set for his birthday with the agreement that he would share it with his big sister. I tell you what, I would never want to build swing sets for a living. Grandma, Jim, Jake, and Stephanie did most of the building. I was on kid patrol, dinner patrol, and yard work patrol. Jason had to work and then joined us later.

This was an all day project. We started at 12:00 and finished about 8:30/9 o'clock at night, with a half-hour break for supper. Olivia and Joseph were troopers. They entertained themselves and just soaked in the beautiful day.

No matter how long it took, how many boo boo's we all received, seeing the excitement on Olivia's face and watching her slide down her slide was worth every bead of sweat.

A BIG thank you goes out to Grandma and Jim for buying the swing set and putting it together, and to Jake and Stephanie for driving over from Champaign and working all day on this project!

We don't have a picture of the finished project yet, due to ending so late, but we will be sure to post it soon!
