Handy Manny strikes again.

This time the project was a play set for Elena. Robert looked at all the kits at Home Depot and Lowe's but refused to buy one when he knew he could design his own. So, he bought some wood and got to work. I took pictures of his progress along the way. This whole project was amazingly finished in just 4 days (even with him changing his mind about the design over and over and over again)!

Elena was Daddy's little helper, she wanted to help and see what was going on constantly. I think she knew it was being built for her!

Testing out the slide~

Time to attach the swing and monkey bars.

More testing~

Climbing wall~

Time to put down the mulch.

More mulching and testing of the sandbox. Isn't it amazing the day before she was in shorts and a tank top? Crazy Kansas weather!!

Now for some railing around the platform~

Ta-Da!!

A few extra screws for stability and we are good to go!

Elena helping again, of course!

I think she is pretty happy with her new play set! She loves it and plays on it several times during the day!

And with a new play set came her first scraped knee - not too bad but she did cry a little, then she went right back to playing! There will be many more of these to come! :)

What a lucky little girl to have such a talented Daddy!
