Can we build it- yes we can!

Well my in-laws came to Birmingham this weekend for their once-a-year visit. We surprised them with a big project- the kids' new playgym. It was a beast to put together- anyone who has done this knows what I am talking about. None of the parts or screws were labeled- so just finding what you needed took forever. Marc's mom was the contractor and Marc and his dad were the muscle.
My job was to keep the kids away from the work zone- which I did most of the time. Here is Julia doing her favorite thing in the world- swinging from a bar. She will do this all day- from anything- she even swings off of restaurant doors.
Here's the crew- mostly done. They only had to put up the swings, glider, and rockwall and finish putting down mulch and pinestraw. The kids love ZaZa and Grandpa- yes, I said Zaza. Blame my nephew. : )
All in all it was a great weekend. We worked hard on the playset, went to the Southern Museum of Flight again, went to the outlets, ate tons of yummy food and watched several movies. It was nice to have Daddy home for a whole weekend without working. Here is Julia playing in the bubble machine that Zaza fixed. Good times.

Tell me if you like the play gym. We are shopping right now.
Julia is starting to look a lot like you! Beautiful little girl!
