If You Build It...

We've been wanting a full size soccer goal so I've been searching the internet for one. New, the cheapest I've found is $900 all the way up to $5000! It's crazy. I found a great deal on KSL for $900 for two but that was still more than we wanted to spend and it was all the way in Logan. So I decided I could just make my own. 

I got the supplies at Home Depot and the kids helped me all afternoon. They took turns cutting and putting the pieces together. We only had one accident. When we were lifting up the front of the goal, the crossbar fell and hit Kira on the shoulder. It took us about an hour and a half to build it and it cost $175. It was so fun to work together! The kids worked really hard out in the hot sun. I loved watching how proud they were of themselves. It's pretty cool to build something that big and useful!

It's a little saggy in the middle but it works for now. I'll see if I can sturdy it up.
