Ploopy's Past: January 2009

The Backyard is FINALLY done!!

After much back breaking work our backyard haven is finally done. We put in a trampoline that is sunken to ground level, some grass, a play structure and a beautiful covered patio Scott built himself.

Covered patio skeleton - the beams are the only thing Scott needed help with

Decorative corbels

Finished product - nice job Scott!!

Geckos around the base of the poles

Looks professionally done, eh?

Finally - a finished backyard!

Father's and Son's with Grandpa J

It was fun to have Grandpa Jorgensen here to go to our Father's and Son's with Scott and the boys. They loved hiking with him and the campfires too!

It was too windy to have a fire so they sang by the lantern light

Scott got to travel to Costa Rica to do some training - here is a composit of his attempt to take a panoramic picture of the beach his hotel was near.

Halloween - 2002

Mitch wanted to be something scary this year. Chase had to settle for Zurg (Buzz Lightyear's nemesis) because Buzz costume was in storage. Next year buddy!
