The house that Prince Charming built (or helped build)

As many of you know the last 3 years of our life have been a bit hectic because Prince Charming's parents built their dream home. My father-in-law and Prince Charming did the majority of the work themselves. It was a long and at times frustrating job but Prince Charming loved the work and knowledge he gained. I think Prince Charming is a little bored now with all these measly little jobs I have for him at home.

We spent this last weekend at PopPop and MomMom's, here is some pictures from Meadow Winds....
The barn was the first structure on the property, it was built by PopPop, Prince Charming, and PopPop's brother in 1996
The lean-to was the next structure on the property, built by PopPop and Prince Charming in 2003. It has served many purposes through out the years, it was where we all ate while the guys built the foundation and framed the house, then it was Meadow Winds Campground when we parked our pop-up next to it during last summer. Now it serves us well for family picnics and bonfires.
Finally in 2004 Prince Charming and PopPop dug the foundation for the house and then the house was framed in 2005 and PopPop and MomMom moved in just before Christmas of 2007 The view of the backside of the house from the pond, looking towards the road.

The girls love to go hiking on MomMom and PopPops 42 acres of land
Or walks down to the pond with MomMom
They also love to drive the backhoe with daddy
PopPop and Prince Charming's latest project is moving boulders...
