Moving progress – Saturday

Here are some photos from the move on Saturday:

Starting to carry the boxes out of the Murray house.

Jason came to lend us some much needed muscle!

The children were really getting excited about helping with the move.

We’ve been relying completely on borrowed equipment for this move. This truck and trailer were loaned by Melissa’s Dad (thanks!)

A borrowed handtruck made things much easier!

Unloaded boxes in the new classroom.

Unloading all the furniture together makes for some great hide-and-seek spots!

Here’s the playground. It used to have a giant, crumbling, unsafe play structure on it. Thelma’s husband Pedro took it down single handedly. The playground doesn’t look terribly appealing right now, but give us a few days and you wont’ recognize it!

This is one of the holes that the legs of the old play structure was stuck in . There were about 8 of them, all 2 – 3 ft deep. Pedro pulled them out of the ground as though he was the Incredible Hulk! How did he do that? We don’t know, but we’re glad that he did. Thanks Pedro!

Here the kids are trying to fill in the holes in the playground.

Thanks for helping, Gary!

Taking a break…
