What a great day – our last day of construction dawned on the cool side – 45 degrees. However, we warmed up quickly as we faced a 100 yard pile of mulch which had arrived on-site late last night. Everyone cheerfully jumped into – and on – the pile and made quick work of it. Then came sod and we all became landscape architects as we laid sod all around our beautiful playground. My favorite event was John Marshall Lee leading a happy group of elves tamping down the soil while singing – “Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It’s Off to Work We Go.” Tomorrow is “payday” for us all – dedication day!

It was a day of hard work with great reward. Construction complete!
We arrived at the site early this morning to 100 yards of wood chips. Not too bad...until the second 100 yards arrived at about 5:00 PM - after backfilling the wall spreading 20 yards of dirt and laying 250 rolls of sod. A VERY hard day of work, however, it was not without reward. During the morning recess many children had the first opportunity to try out the equipment. All it took was a brief demonstration on the "sky runner" and we could not hold the children back any longer…such joy on their faces! The smiles were unforgettable. I can not wait for tomorrow's unveiling!
