our new backyard









Lance and I have lived at this house for the past 7 years. Ever since we moved in I begged Lance to put in a tall fence in the backyard, ( we have some "interesting" neighbors). So finally last year we put it in and loved all the seclusion it provided.
This years mission was a sanbox for the kids. After discussing and researching we picked out the needed material. 3- 4x10 and some screws. On a sidenote, while at Menards loading the material we overestimated the give of a windshield and cracked it. We both felt pretty stupid to think we could have gotten it in there, but hey we have insurance and had a new windshield the next day.

We built the sandbox in about 1 hour, it is 5 x 10 and is holding 1 truck load of sand!! Myla loves it and plays in it whenever we are outside. It can accomidate 6 kids and still have lots of room to move around. So the sanbox arrival required more fencing in the back and we have gotten that done over the past 2 weeks. Lance's Mom was up for a visit and to help with yard work and relieving a brick sidewalk in our backyard.
