4000 lbs of Rubber, Cement, and Backyard O Fun

This spring we have focused on our backyard FINALLY trying to get it into shape since we extended our property line over 2 years ago. Yea for the tax relief credit so we could make some big improvements!

So, we started with 4200 lbs of rubber playground mulch:



Let me tell you how fun that was---3 gigantic sacks of thousands of pounds of
rubber!!! It is much much better than the slivery woodchips that we had before. The kids love it now sliding into it and bouncing around in it.

Then, we went for covering the weedfest in the corner with a cement patio/basketball court:



Oh, we had some fun experiences learning that you don't pay the contractor until they are COMPLETELY finished, but in the end it turned out OK. The kids like their new chalk drawing, basketball playing, riding bikes play area.

And so in the end becomes our "Backyard O Fun"! We absolutely love it! The only problem now is that the house INSIDE has become pretty messy due to our lack of attention while we all hang out outside.
