New playground

For years, the Irving PTO has been raising money to redo the playground, add some green space and move the teachers' parking lot. L participated in the "good-bye blacktop" celebration at the end of the school year. This is how the playground looked in July:

And this is how it looks today:

Most of the work has been done in the last couple of weeks. The principal told E they requested additional workers be brought in to ensure that the playground is complete before school starts. The soft surface under the playground needs to dry, but it's pretty much done. School starts Monday (yeah!) and a grand opening celebration is planned for next week. Though my kids aren't at the school any longer I'm sure they'll be over there with their friends pretty often.
