Over the 4th of July weekend, Joe put up a playground for the boys with the tremendous help of Papa Bob and Uncle Bobby. Zach and Alex had so much fun watching their daddy, grandpa and godfather build (or rather, slave in the sticky heat) their new playground, and they are thrilled to have a “park” in their own backyard. It’s an awesome playground with a tower fort, a slide, swings, monkey bars, a climbing wall and tunnel, and a sandbox. It even has a telescope and a steering wheel. The guys did a fantastic job! Check out the progress pictures in the July 4th Weekend photo album.

As you can see from some of the pictures, it wasn’t all work that weekend. We had a great time on the evening of the 4th with Bobby and Kwo Ue, who came over for dinner and some boom booms. We shot a few of them off early so Z & A could see them – they totally loved it, especially Alex!

The latest additions to the July-Aug 2007 album include fun at a park with Debbie, a new deck (yeah!), and a weekend of fun that included Z & A’s first ride on a merry-go-round at Belle Plaine’s BBQ Days and riding a Hopkins fire truck in the Raspberry Festival parade (the little guys were in heaven with all those big fire trucks, and Cole seemed so proud to be able to show them to his little brothers).

Not much time to post this, but thought I would let everyone now Zach and Alex are now home. 16 1/2 days in the level two nursery and all is well now. Both boys gained weight and are eating well. We found out from their doctor that they are identical twins ! Lots of fun ahead of us now
