The slides are in . . . but plants around them are yet to come!

After a day’s work, the slides are in, and the play area will re-open tomorrow evening at 5pm with a “grand opening” ceremony that involves pizza and kids and a raffle to see who gets the first slide rides (concrete needs to set for 24 hours). Lots of pics of the work today, and — assuming all went well — some time lapse photography of the build, and those will be posted at some point. But for now, you can see below a vague visual of what we’re hoping for after we plant some tall grasses and maybe other plants on the remaining bare dirt. We’re planning to plant in September, when it’s not quite so hot.

Don’t the plants complete the look?
