The playground

So these are pictures from our Saturday morning. Angela and I volunteered to help build the new playground down by the river here in Yuma. It's being funded and built completely by volunteers and was designed by the kids of Yuma. It looks like a giant castle, and is pretty cool!

We worked from 8am until 12pm and were considered skilled workers because we said we felt comfortable using a circular saw. Actually, we ended up using a drill and putting up the blue and pink blocks you see here. It was tricky work, I had to stand on a 10 foot ladder and screw the blocks into place into the plastic composite boards. I used muscles that haven't been worked out in quite a while. And my balancing skills. We put up quite a few all over the place and then half an hour before our shift was over our supervisor found us and told us we had to take them all down. There had apparently been a miscommunication and there had to be pink boards under the blue pieces. So with heavy hearts Angela, Lety (our new friend who was grouped with us) and I took them all down. Needless to say after that I did not feel nearly as bad about going through 4 drill bits in 3 hours!
