Eagle Project!

Luke finished his eagle project last week, and I have never been so happy to see a project done. It has been weighing on me all summer long. Tracking people down, getting approvals, figuring out cost, getting the money, getting volunteers, and all the while planning on doing it the second week of august and right up to the day we started I didn't feel like we would be ready. The stress of it all!!! In the end it all worked out fine and it turned out beautiful.

He painted a map of the United States on the playground at our Elementary School.
After he cleaned the area with a power washer, and laid out a stencil we started connecting the dots.
Then we filled in the colors.

Two coats. And lastly we went over the lines again and touched up.

Three days, I don't even want to guess how many hours, and lots of help.

Yea, it's done!
It really was a fun project. I could do it again now that I know what I am doing. Just give me a few years to recover.
