The Playground!!

This Playground has quite a history..so it deserved its own post! Mike bought this in Kalispell right after we moved into our house. He thought the kids would LOVE it....so he hauled it back to Calgary with plans to put it in our backyard. Well, upon looking at the size of our backyard...we decided it would take up the whole thing (no joke) so we decided a better place for it would be at the cabin. So, Yes, we hauled it all the way back down after it spent 18 months in our garage (the kids could only dream of playing on it one day). Luckily, Mike had lots of help setting it up and it was an ALL day project! A Huge Huge HUGE thank you to Brian, Brian, Christine, and Dan (the foreman) who put in hours of work in the hot sun!! The kids LOVE it!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

While we were there someone had left food in it so there were wasps swarming around the top half it was still really fun though.
