Hey Dad- I have an idea- said Owen one day in April. Why don't we put up a playground in the backyard for Ben and I to play in. Just a few weeks earlier Richard and I had come up with the same idea. We decided to go the easy route and instead of losing multiple weekends and further educating the boys on swear words by building it ourselves, we had Costco deliver and build the whole thing.
One cold, rain-y, sleet-y, hail-y Wednesday in the middle of April, two men showed up and put up the Monkey Jungle.
The boys came home from school and were thrilled with their present. Owen, of course, took credit for the idea. Ben was able to get up the climbing wall on his first try. Both learned that the slide, when wet, is very fast. Next step: deer fencing so there will be less land mines in the back yard.
