Our Own Swingset

After talking about it all summer, we finally pulled the trigger and bought a swingset for Gavin. I have not regretted it once. He loves it. We bought it on a Monday, it was delivered on Friday. We decided to save the $300 to have it installed. A week and 15+ manhours by Chad later....it was ready. Happy Birthday to Gavin. Here's to hoping the things logs many hours of playtime...with no broken bones.

Just one of the bags of bolts and screws that came with this thing. WHAT!?!?

The set up and organization.

The project begins.

Chad's sweat is literally and figuratively poured into this thing. It was 90 degrees out.

I missed documenting a few steps but...he's putting on the finishing touches.

Taking this baby for a ride.

Happy to be swinging in her jammies.

I love them....

...they love each other.
So excited on his new swing set.

For days in the building process all this kid would say is "sing-set?" He wanted to be out with Chad helping build until that thing was ready to go.

Mastering his gross motor skills.

So, who's coming over to play?
