When Pigs Fly!!

We have a sloped backyard that's really not usable for play, so we decided to build a playhouse for the kids to utilize our space.  A week after Levi was born, Michael and his dad began working on the boys' playhouse/swing set.  We sold our utility trailer for extra cash and used left over boards from pool deck.

 The men worked in 40 degree weather and rain to get as much done as possible while Grandpa was here.

Grandpa, who is 75, was on top of the building roofing; I was praying.  It's more than 20 feet up in the air.
 Today, here's the finished playhouse with the main architect (Michael) taking a break.  We have a few more things to tweak, but we're calling it "DONE".  I'm so glad that pool is gone.  We'll use this playhouse all year!  It's 8 foot by 8 foot with a 2 ft. by 8ft. covered porch.  In the bottom of my picture is our veggie gardens.

Michael designed easy to climb stairs, a dutch door, 5 stations for swinging, and a covered porch.  It also has a easy to  use window for drive in window play!
 
Here's the boys smiling for Grandma, and on the right is their bell--a pig with wings.

When pigs fly, our kids can say that we don't love them or spoil them rotten.
