The boys build a playground

Mum and Dad came up for a flying visit this weekend, on a mission to build the boys' new playground. There's a stairway, slide, steering wheels, sand pit, multilevel covered turrets, and talking pipe.

With storms coming through the day and the ground as hard as rock, Aaron and Trevor slaved away and built a very special land of fantasy and excitement for Luke and Cameron.



The raw materials ready to go








Dad digs, Aaron (Bachelor of Engineering - playground construction) in a break from studying the instructions



Thank G it was made in Brisbane and not China - the instructions were tricky but luckily in English.



















Dad and Mum went back Sunday morn so we trundled to Bunnings to buy another 10 bags of sand and then during a break in the rain Aaron finished it off. (The pink stairs are only temporary while Luke has short legs.) With the water falling from the sky the boys couldn't go out and play.... soon!





Here's a shot of the boys talking and listening through the "talking pipe" before Aaron installed it (so they can talk to each other between the sand pit and the turret).
