Balancing work and play

My mom and Dave came this weekend to watch the girls while Bryan and I went to a concert in Kansas City. The timing of their trip was perfect, though, because Dave was able to help Bryan assemble the play set we gave Ava for her birthday, and Mom helped me prepare for a big event I had last night.

Bryan and Dave assembled most of the swing set in the garage Friday night, and took it outside Saturday morning. Dave said it was pretty easy to assemble, but Bry thought it would have taken him four days if he’d had to do it without Dave’s help. Ava and Olivia were relieved it was done in a matter of hours!

Mom took a few shots along the way, too, and she captured Dave showing Ava how to make the slide perfectly slippery (Pledge!). Olivia had a blast flying down it as well.
