Project RC Track Complete

Last February Dustin and I took on the monumental task of building from scratch, with just some blueprints and home depot lumber, a playset in our backyard for the kids.  We finished it in April and it has been sooo much fun for everybody (and we had a blast building it!)

This year I had sworn off any new projects - projects and two year olds don't really go well together in my book.  But Dustin got the itch and put the big kids to work last month as they created a remote control car race track on the side yard of our property, to the left of the playground in the above picture.

First came laying out all the piping and staking it in with metal spikes.  Next came the delivery of dirt.

 And the fun begins...

 Trent worked really hard alongside Dustin...

 Kate and Penny pitched in too..

 We eventually gave Penny the job of picking up rocks and throwing them in the woods - fun for hours!

 The track was complete within the day - and the boys go back there after dinner to race each other almost every night.  Kate has even joined in and has her own smaller RC car...

I did pretty much nothing to help with this project, unless you count bringing water and cheering on the cars in their first lap.  Some projects I feel confident with - this was not one of them.  But our kids are so so blessed to have a Daddy as awesome as Dustin.  After working 12 hour work days all week, he spends his weekends coaching baseball and building remote control tracks - love that man!
