Fun in the backyard!!

Now we need to work on our grass!

Natalie's first trip down the slide!
Whew...swinging makes me sleepy...

We finally got our vinyl fence installed (after a month of rain!). We love it! It's so nice to know that Jack and Natalie will be contained in the backyard when they are outside playing. At the same time we also got a new swing set!

As you may recall...2 years ago we purchased one from Walmart and Todd and Dad put it together (it took 2 weekends!). Well, 2 weeks later while we were on vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks a tornado came through the nearby area and blew it into our neighbors yard (and into his swing set) 2 houses down!! Luckily insurance paid for it, but we didn't replace it that summer. Last year we couldn't decide what to do next...another swing set or fence? We took Jack to the park last summer to play.

Jack loves his new swing set! Natalie likes to swing too, or just sit in her swing and watch Jack run around and play. No pictures of Jack on the swing set yet...he wouldn't hold still long enough! I'll have to get some action shots of him playing. :)
