Playground fixing

We fixed our playground a little bit (or my husband did). Now there is a rope ladder going up to the top, "the ship". The wheel and periscope are waiting there for the captain.

Downstairs is a kiosk, with chairs and a place to play inside.

Last weekend we had a lot of kids here playing at Marie's birthday party. They enjoyed it a lot.

 

 

 This pirate flag is new, we added it in September.

I used to think that people who break their own routines and move to the country-side are at least crazy. Moving out of from the centre where everything is happening. Why does anyone want to do that? Maybe there are some reasons for that. Slower life, cosy life. More place for the kids to play, to live closer to the nature.

There are many things you can invest in. Some people use much of their money and time to travel to different places. I love travelling. There are so may places to see and things to experience. But right now we have been investing in our house and it's and surroundings. Many years of renovating the house and still some small things to be done.

Now we have been building a playground in the yard. The playground was not planned to be this big, it just happened. And actually, it can even be enlarged. Why not? Life is our playground. Enjoy these pictures taken in November's different shades of gray.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself

The playground

What's new with the bus? We moved the bus from one corner of the yard to another. The bus had to be towed with another car, pulled with a pulley and also pushed to it's final place. Sounds easy, right? Since the bus has no engine and quite empty wheels, it took a while.

The week before there were trucks driving to our yard, bringing sand and gravel. Now we have a playground with sand bottom. There is a sandbox too for outdoor play. We will also put swings, a slide and somekind of climbing frame in this area.

The traffic signs are from the landfill. Now they are hanging on the tree. The yellow mailbox is our old one. We had to change it because it was hit by a car. Someone was turning the car and not noticing the mailbox. And no, that someone wasn't me. The box has been sprayed with a yellow colour, it used to be gray/silver.

Wooden stairs that help climbing inside the bus.

There is a hammock hanging on the other side.

New lights and eyelashes.

Now there is music too in the bus. Right now you can listen to the radio, but soon there will be kid's music available as well. As you can see there are led-lights placed inside. It's useful when the evenings get darker in autumn.
