Well .... what is it? Its a Major Award!




I received this award (the plaque I'm holding, not the leg lamp) from the Wapiti Bluff HOA for the work I did on the park. If you have been to our house during the last year I'm sure we have taken you over to 'our park' to show off all the progress we've made. We had the offical grand opening last weekend to recognize everyone who helped. Not everyone could come, but it was still a good event and a good way to let everyone know how much has been accomplished in under one year. We took out the old playsets, poured concrete walkways, installed a new top qaulity play equipment with some nice benches and playground bark, greened up the lawn, and planted about 30 trees. The park is completely unrecognizable from what it looked like last summer. Although we had the 'grand opening' we still have a lot to do. One of the nieghbors is working on getting soccer goals set up (Hyrum City donated some really nice ones), I am working with a scout on his Eagle project to get a new basketball hoop with painted lines, and we'd still like to get a covered pavillion with garbage cans. It has been a great experience working on something that benefits the whole community and I know both Laura and I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Great job guys. I did get to see the plans, but I think I have yet to take the tour. I guess I'll have to visit sometime so we can go to the park!
