Part of Emma and Bradlee's birthday presents this year, Tony's parents, my parents, Lynne and Uncle Paul contributed with us to buy the kids a swing set. At first, I wanted it to arrive closer to Bradlee's birthday, but now I'm glad it took a little while to get here. That way, it wasn't just for Bradlee, it was for BOTH of them!
We ordered the swing set around July 21st and both boxes arrived by August 4th. We had it out of the boxes and checked all the parts on Thursday night. Friday afternoon, my dad came over and we worked on it until about 10pm (yes, it was dark...we had flashlights!). Then on Saturday morning, our dear friend (and handyman) Matt came over and he and Tony finished it! We've found a few things that need adjusting, but they are minor, so the kids have been able to play on it! They LOVE it!!! Just watching them on it makes me so happy that we finally did this. and found a good one! There's a slide (Bradlee's favorite), rock wall, two swings and a glider (Emma's favorite!), and in the front, a picnic bench for them to sit at and eat lunch! The swings are removable, so we may get one of those bars with the rings so they can hang and swing, something BOTH Emma and Bradlee love to do!! While it's kind of large and takes up a majority of our backyard, we're okay with that. We're going to grass over the area behind the set so it's all grass for them to run and play on. The blue thing on the ground in the picture is a sandbox...something I would be happy getting rid of, but they love that, too, so maybe we'll just get a bigger one for them to play in! :)
Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their new swing set!!!
