What did you do this summer?

This is what Chad did! He built a playhouse and a swing set for Lawton and Carolina during his few weeks off this summer. Lawton was a big helper with his "shovel" and "tool belt"!
I love this pic with Chad in the background doing the same shoveling motion as Lawton.
He worked so hard! :)
The finished product! I am so proud of you, Chad! He did it ALL except for a little help he got from his Dad squaring the posts and then some help with the roof. We have loved playing outside during the cool morning/evening hours!

Lawton is playing in the sandbox below.

Sheer joy in the face of a child! How fun to have your very own playhouse!
ARGGHHH! Are there any pirates in the sea, matey?


"Push me higher, Daddy!!"

Carolina likes her new swing, too!
Oops! I thought I had flipped this one . . .
Getting in a little soccer practice, too!
I also want to shout out to Chad how proud I am of him and his new job! He is now the principal at Cole Elementary! Students arrive Monday and he has been working so hard to get everything ready for the new school year. His students, faculty and staff, and community are so lucky to have such a strong, fair, calm, educated Christian leader! I am so proud of you!!!!

Good luck to all those starting school on Monday!
