A Brothers Love Expands on a Dream
 
May 1-2, 2010 was a BIG weekend! After many months of careful planning, preparation and co-ordination Shiyanne's older brother Sky was able to perform a playground expansion on a Large scale. As part of his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project he was able to add more than 13,000 square feet to the original playground footprint, more than doubling the original size. Please view the progress of his enormous effort below.
 
On Sky's behalf, and in Shiyanne's honor, plese enjoy the new added play/picnic space!
