Meyer Ranch Clubhouse

Construction has started on the Meyer Ranch clubhouse. As a warning for those of you that don't know my husband, he doesn't do any thing halfway or half-ass...so this clubhouse is of course spectacular! Brian will admit it's a little bigger then he had originally envisioned, but construction has commenced so it's staying this size.

My Dad and Brian began construction on Saturday and made quite a bit of progress. It's far from being complete, but the slide works and the swings work and the house is of course super fun to play in!

Daddy's little helper. Logan was in HEAVEN this weekend. He loved being there helping Daddy and Grandpa building stuff. He did good and didn't get in the way too much. He would, of course, take their tools and lose them, but what's the fun of building something if all your tools are right where you left them?

Yes their club house is big enough to fit 7 grown adults comfortably...and we could probably fit way more than 7 in there.

My job was to put together the spiral slide. So of course I called for re-enforcements! Kim, Keri, and I (with the help of Dan a little bit) put the spiral slide together. It really wasn't that hard...although there was a lot of bolts! Over 347 I think.

This is the finish product...so far...Still a lot of work to do, but like I said the swings work and the slide works and the sand box is full! Yes it does have working windows and it will have two working doors...it's also getting electricity and porch lights, siding, shingles and maybe even a little flower pot under the window... ;-)

One of my favorite songs right now is Laura Bell Bundy's song "Giddy On Up". Every time it comes on CMT I crank it up and dance with the boys. So when it came on the radio this weekend Logan of course began bustin' out his moves to the song and sang along. If you can't understand him he's saying, "Giddy On Up, Giddy On Up".


Logan testing out the new slide. I think this clubhouse is already a HUGE success!


Both the boys testing out the swings. Cody LOVES the swing and could swing for hours!


I'll keep you posted with updates on the clubhouse as Brian continues to make progress this summer.

Alright... all I have to say about this is that it's the shiznit and we are scheduling a Sherman family vacation to the Meyer Ranch. Tell Dan to get to work on the menu while we're there, cuz we'd like it to be like a full on bed n' breakfast vacation but don't want you guys to have to lift a finger! :)
