There goes the neighborhood....

 Last weekend, new construction began in our backyard- the giant sky fort- a gift from my parents. Wow- this sucker is big. Needless to say after two full days of work, we are still under construction! It hasn't helped that we've had maybe 2 sunny days in the last week and a half! Charlie's job? We bought him a shovel and he was the official poop scooper (the playground is located in the former Great Dane bathroom area). He wanted to have his hands on every part of the assembly- all 57 steps (yikes) we are currently at step 48. And when I say we, I mean Chad. The slide still needs to be assembled (it says it takes 6-8 hours!) as well as the swings. But in the meantime, it makes an excellent fort! I just love these pictures of "the guys" (and Donna, Chad's mom) working.
