In June, I got the opportunity to go back to work :) My old organization KaBOOM! and ESPN joined forces to build a new playground at our Y! It was a great to experience to work with my own community after helping more than 100 other communities build playgrounds. I put my purple shirt back on and dug the infamous pink toolbelt out of the garage. It was an early start!
Here is the before pic of the site:
The Boomers- Dan, me and Ayo- led 250 volunteers throughout the 6 hours to complete the playground, a new garden, benches, arbor and stage!

The temp rose to 103 but the volunteers stuck it out and we made a huge impact on the Y that will be enjoyed by many for years to come! I loved getting back out on the playground and was pleasantly surprised by how much I remembered about wratchets and allen keys and clamps :)
