The Magic Playground

Last summer my brother was going to throw away a swing set! Well, being a scavenger, I asked him if I could have it... he said sure, it is all yours. So, this summer, Bryan is building me a playground in the back yard. It has been fun to see it come together. Bryan is doing a great job.

First step was trying to figure out how it goes together.

Checking out the monkey bars!

Adding on the deck

This is going to be great!

I will post some pictures when we get it done. It has been fun to help Bryan put this together. Of course, he does most of the work and I just hold boards!

It is going to be a MAGIC PLAYGROUND

Family Luau

Years ago, 30 to be exact, a beautiful baby girl was born. She had black hair and was as cute as a button! Since then, she has been a delight and joy to us.
So, we had to have a grand party for her 30th birthday. We decided to have a Luau.
The best part was how everything came together: Bryan and Celeste said they would make fruit drinks, Laura said she would help with dinner, Tana said she would bring fun people, Kaelynn said she would decorate, David said he would pay up and show up! The final added touch was a surprise find from Celeste. She found leis, sarongs, and garland and it just gave our Luau the final touch it needed! Thanks everyone.
Here is some photos of our Luau:
