The evoluation of the back deck

Its officially SUMMER in Chicago!!  We are having so much fun at all the splash parks, city pools and beaches but the biggest update this summer is our back deck - or as we call it our "yard."

It started with some toys I got for $20 dollars off craiglists.  Big hit for Will.

Then it got really hot one day in March and I added a tub from my under my bed with shoes it in.  Even bigger hit!

Then we finally ordered the water table Will got from Grandma and Grandpa Harvey for his 1st birthday.  HUGE hit.  Will was in heaven will all those toys and water.  All that play gets a boy hungry!

When Wills best bud Liam came over to play we realized we needed one more thing to protect the little boys from splinters.

Next up it was operation TURF!!!  We did a TINY bit of research and decided we (Will and I) would head out to Home Depot and get it done and ready for the weekend of fun!

Final addition was a $5 dollar baby pool!

So for under $200 dollars we have an awesome play yard.  Will is having tons of fun splashing around and having his buds up to party.  Summer in the city - Pope Style :)
