Juniper, now two and a half years old, gets less timid each day and has a definite independent streak that will serve her well when she gets older. Today she visited Cultus Lake Adventure Park with her parents to go on a few rides. Normally it's the kiddy rides she enjoys but today she decided she was ready for the Runaway Train roller coaster. As she approached the top of the first hill she was a little fearful of the height but her daddy assured her all was well. It was pure enjoyment for the rest of the ride as they roared through the twists and turns and she was eager to GO AGAIN very soon! Our next generation of park builders is definitely getting into the groove!
First rough grades
I spent a good part of the day on our little tractor with the front end loader. I was establishing the rough grade of the front yard of the Hazelnut Inn and also dumping fill sand into the walkway behind the curved wall. This wall defines the pathway up to the North Star suite. The tall semi circle wall behind the lower front one defines the height of the upper garden for this suite. More square walls will be cast in place in the next few weeks to hold back the fill we will add in this area. A 42 inch wall will be built on top of this for privacy and safety making this garden to have a grand view and offer total privacy from those passing by on the rod or sidewalk. It is very exciting to see our plan become real!
A day of adventure
Our friends, Jacob and Lizzie, from Colorado dropped in for a visit this weekend. I had the pleasure of showing them around our area and we squeezed a lot of fun into one day of adventures. Jacob was last here four years ago when we were building the first phase of the Cultus Lake Adventure Park. The park was definitely a construction site then and he was pleased to enjoy the finished park.
