A new swing set!



The boys were constantly trying to help. Jonathan misplaced only a couple of bolts and screws.

Finally it was time for the slide to be added!

Jonathan got bored with helping when he discovered rain water had collected in the boxes the playground came in and decided to take a little bath.


wheeeee!


Gratuitous butt shot.



Jonathan wasn't too sure of the swing at first. I think he doesn't like the confinement and restriction, but isn't that the whole point?!


Andrew wanted to give his brother a little push.


Last weekend, we broke down and bought the kids a swing set. We've been eyeing them for the past two years and trying to decide if the boys are old enough. And let me just say, this was a labor of love! It came in about 1, 000 pieces. "Some assembly required."

Keith and my dad worked very hard for about two solid days and got the first half up, all the while enduring constant questions of, "Are you ready for the slide? Can I go on the slide now?"

And this past weekend, while I was working at the church garage sale, Keith put the swing bar up by himself. So, now the swing set is complete and the boys are so happy!

Very cool...we've been wanting one for our backyard too (but don't really want to invest in something we can't take with us). Do you mind if I ask where you got this one and how much you paid?
