Hawkins Demolition and Moving

This phrase was made by Chases dad Lonnie Hawkins. Whenever any one in the family moves or needs something moved we all get together and get it done. The key phrase is get it done. It might not be the right way or the easiest. Usually something gets broken, but also fixed. So we had the opportunity of getting a free play set for the yard. There is a business one street over from us that is kinda the middle man for companies like Costco etc. He sets stuff up and than the buyers come over and say how many they want for there store. Well he had three play sets set up for demo. and was done with them and needed to clear them out of the yard for the next demo. We where asked if we wanted one, we just needed to get it out of the yard as soon as possible. AT dinner Chase said, We need to take it apart into three sections and then bring it over that way. He didn't think it would fit in the car. His suggestions were. #1 put it on the top of the car, he will hold it on and I will drive it home. #2 Him and the boys would put it on there scooters and skateboards and push it down the street. I did not like either options, but the boys liked #2. So off they went. I wanted to watch but also was a little embarrassed that it is the main highway here and everyone in the world was going to see this endeavor. To my surprise in about 5 min. they where already back with the first section. It wouldn't fit in the gate so they tore down a section of the fence to put it into the yard. So for round two I went out and got some pictures. It was so funny! This is the kind of stuff that they will always remember when they get older. It would not have been so much fun if we had borrowed or rented a trailer. I am so glad I got the pictures! They got it all in and even put the fence back together. We now have a Choo Choo Train Play Set in the yard and the boys love it, Even if it has only been in the 40's this week. It is still so cold! Glad to keep the tradition alive.
