Urban Air - part 3 - Finishing Touches - part two

How's that for a title?
I had too many pics to put in the last post so I decided to split it into 2 posts.
 This was Monday, July 27 and we opened our doors on Friday, July 31.  Needless to say, a lot of late nights that week at the store!
 Testing out the warrior course while the adults worked.
 The playground was getting closer to complete but not close enough to open with the rest of the park that week.



 The kids got to spend some time jumping while we worked then my mom or sister would take them home.  Adam and I weren't getting home until way past bedtime.
 So happy this girl made a full recovery after the tooth incident the week before.  I seriously adore her new smile!!!!!!
 Aimee, Nicole and I spent a solid couple of days with the China men assembling the playground.  We couldn't feel our fingers for days after.  Nothing like taking instructions from men that only speak Chinese while breathing in their secondhand smoke.  It was a glamorous week.
 God Bless my sister for taking my kids in!
 Every single one of those metal poles had to be covered in that blue foam.  YIKES!  
 This is what I survived on late night for a solid couple of months.
 My brothers worked all day at their regular jobs and then came up to the store to work for hours at night.  I couldn't be more thankful  for that and thankful for Tara that lent Bryson out for the week.    
 Of course my Dad was there too!  Seriously, I don't how we would have opened on time without their labor.
 Those are all the tables in the party zone area.
 Adam and I were at Ikea the day before grand opening picking up couches for the entryway.  Adam had never been to Ikea before and he would be happy to never go back again ;).
 These mailers went out and there was no turning back ;)
 Oh, the orange wall in the entry.  We just couldn't decide how to do the lettering.  So, here was my dad less than 48 hours before we opened penciling a rectangle to be painted black.  We really weren't sure how it was going to turn out...but it looks so good!
Aimee's oldest and Cooper made quite the bond the week before we opened.  They are dodgeball fanatics!

Next up, grand opening!!!!!!!
