Swingset

We decided on the Costco swingset (it was $400 less than advertised online and we got a good tax return) and started building it before the snow and major infections started a couple weeks ago. It was chosen because we're not moving and we never want to build one of these again; and because I'm a paranoid Mommy and wanted something super safe and sturdy. It took hours and hours to complete; two full Saturdays.
The weather on this Saturday was beautiful and we got it 98% finished - only a few more rails and a telescope to put up. And we still have the decision of whether or not to fill the sandbox that we need to make. The set is incredibly sturdy and seems like it will last. It is definitely incredibly fun.
I know the girls will spend hours outside swinging, sliding, picnicking, and imagining. Anyone want to come over and join us?
