The rise and fall of the playhouse


Ryan and I were able to get one of the nice wood playhouses from my moms caretaker.  Her kids were getting older and not using it and wanted to put up a pool so they said if we came and took it down it was ours!  Score because they are over $900 at Costco.

We brought it home and sanded and restrained it and put back together the peices we wanted to keep.  We put it up and then got fake grass put in around it. Ryan convinced me to put in a putting green in the grass with two holes and We also bought a baby swing.  We have spent many nights outside with Holden swinging and Ryan putting.

Last week Vegas experienced crazy winds like 30-40mph.  We hadn't bolted the playhouse down yet and the next thing we knew on Friday night as we were sitting down watching a movie out playhouse got pushed down by the wind.  Major damage has been done.  My brothers came over the next day and helped us put it upright and bolt it down but Ryan has to rebuild the swing set part and fix the roof and reinforce it.  Luckily he is out of school for the summer and can get it done quickly.  Holden misses the swing a lot he goes to the back door and cries to go out

We are all looking forward to it being fixes and us being able to spend many more family nights outside.
