new toys for the grandkids

Doug being Doug, has been building again.

 His newest creation is a walkway over a very wet soggy area in our yard.Then it got expanded to include a big sand box with a new climbing wall.

Wonder if Brady will be one of those athletes who always has their tongue hanging out!

OK- Isabell did grab a hold.

Though no one seems to have figured how to use the holds, they just all climb up the rails. It has big steps on the other side.

 You can stand on the top and be the king of the world as Alesha and Peyton are demonstrating.( though we all wonder if maybe it needs rails for safety??)  One thing Peyton and Brady loved to do, was climb to the top and jump to you. Never mind if you were looking at them. One time Peyton came flying off the top towards me. I turned around just in time to see him hit my chest and fly to the ground hitting his
head on the bottom step. Poor little guy ! He had quite the cry!

  There is a steering wheel and you can play underneath.

Then he built these really cool lights. I just love them!!!

Parker seems pretty happy about the new walk ways!

Isabell and Madison climbing to the top!

After a bit of sand and climbing they headed to the trampoline for some fun.

Also, last week I TRIED to do a photo shoot of the grandkids .It was not very successful. Brady did OK for a few shots, Madison  and Parker were not here so they don't count.

I did however  get a few fun moment photos.

best I could get of Isabell and Ellie( 2 3/4 yrs and 7 months)

After one shot Isabell was done. Peyton decided to fill in!

After changing clothes Isabell did come back for one more shot.

And I loved it when Isabell and Peyton hoped into the big trunk. Isabell got a Popsicle,(not sure why Peyton did not get one),But he asked her so cute if she would share her Popsicle with him.( for Peyton this also shows a huge growth in his development).
