The Canopy

Two weeks ago we got Kelton to bed at 8 PM. This was after we were able to snag a 3 hour nap that afternoon. We were on a roll! So, in our rested joyous state, we broke out the canopy that we bought 2 years ago and started to put it together in the backyard. We had the baby monitor with us, of course. After two and a half hours of me reading the directions, telling Hubby what to do, realizing we did it wrong, then having to redo it (I love the looks on his face), we finally got all 11 feet by 9 feet of it up and on our back patio.

It lasted five days. A storm came through and made quick work of our canopy despite the concrete bolts that were used to secure it to the patio. We won't be doing that again.

Sorry about your poor canopy. I wish it had lasted a little longer for you after all the work that went into it.
