all decked out

A couple of months ago, a big project was started. (Before you are too impressed with us, we didn't do it ourselves, we hired someone to do it for us.)

We have been wanting a deck to go off the dining room since we moved in. The window was just the right size for a patio door.







Sam was pretty excited about the whole thing.






In planning how we wanted the deck to look, Jason decided it would be really fun for us to put a slide on the side of it for Sam. Sam has been pretty impatient for his slide to be ready for him.
And after all this time (and a few headaches here and there...) we finally have a completed project, slide and all!





Ta da! We're very happy that it's complete! And happy with the results.

Wow! That's gorgeous! How fun that you guys have such a nice house with a fabulous backyard. I can't even imagine how many hours your sandbox is in use...

Looks really nice. The slide is awesome, but it does look a little steep. Does Sam just fly off the end? Heehee.

he probably would if he actually would try it! he's still too scared... even though ALL of his friends have tried it already.
