At the start of day two (Sunday after church, to be exact), this is what our backyard used to look like (the view from the deck). Please excuse the grass or lack thereof. We removed our pool two summers ago and the grass has been stubborn. There's actually more there than it looks like, it's just been extremely dry so it's all yellow and crunchy.
Eventually the swing beam and fort sections were joined together. You might notice the umbrella....it was a necessary purchase in the unrelenting sun and heat. Thankfully I had an old gift card to a store that carried umbrellas and it covered all but the base. It was a huge help, even if it did continually blow over.
And here is the result at the end of day two. We added a section of monkey bars, hanging rings and a rock climbing wall (which was a major pain in the rear end to put together, despite how simplistic it looks.)
Ethan wanted to test out his climbing skills. I wasn't sure if he would be able to get up there, but....
...the little monkey made it on the first try...and every try thereafter! He does not let his tiny size (maybe 36 inches tall and 26.5 lbs.) limit him AT ALL.
Lots of progress made, but LOTS more left to do. Stay tuned...
