Before: It used to be just dirt. Above is the scene last year, of kids trying to make things neat in the backyard.
After: In full colour! Below is the after picture, now that renovations have been completed on the yard. What a difference some Canadian and U.S. dollars can make:
Here's another before/after view:
The picture with me and the children from last year (above) shows the side of the house where the kids would play. It was a dirt area. Very hot and dusty.
Look at this side of the house today, from another view, with the one of the interlocking pavers. It has made the place look so much cleaner and the kids can ride their push toys on the bricks.
It also has kept the inside of the house cleaner as dirt is not being brought in from the outside anymore.
Two more shots:
The tire swings, swing boat and the crawl-through metal apparatus.
Swing: the kids sit on the swing to eat their breakfast in the morning.
The baby haven staff have commented on how much the children play in the backyard and love their new playground equipment. The staff love the swing chair as it gives them a place to relax when watching the little ones.
