The last of my Build Day Pictures...can't believe it is all over!

 Having a well deserved coffee break. That donated baking was SO yummy!
 Jacquie made sure the boat in creative play was all cleaned out!
 Donna, Brenda, Jaclyn, and Tanya made sure we were well fwed all day. And look how happy Brenda and Donna were to do so!
 Send in the muscles to get things tidied up!
 Amazing Entertainment all day!
 Some of the young muscle.



 The kids came out to see what was going on and cheer before going to the movie.
 Some more amazing talent!



 Natural play space area in the arboretum.

 Carter is taking a moment to take it all in.
 Well, Laurie, do those swings meet your approval?
 The amphitheatre rocks! Music classes in there will be cool.
 Figuring out the fitness equipment.

 Kristi and I got the honour of cutting the cakes which represented our heritage. (sponge cake from England; carrot cake from Scotland; Icelandic venatarta and Canadian pies!) Amazing tribute to our Ceilidh Park!
 The kids FINALLY got to try out the new park.

 My fave is the creative play space with log cabin, lake shaped sandbox complete with boat and dock!

 Enjoying an amazing pork-on-bun supper with the community.

In 48 hours we will be done!!












The equipment arrived Wednesday morning and our foreman John, arrived last night. Today, a group of guys took the day off from their regular jobs to come over and do inventory and then start the skeleton of the structures. Meanwhile, the Outdoor Ed class was still digging the hole for the amphitheatre and a local farmer came over with his tractor to help move the pea gravel around. and this is only what I got pictures of !! Our team leaders are busy gathering their tools and supplies and organizing their tasks.
