The seven or so boxes, LARGE boxes, and large pieces of plastic that have been sitting in the front of our garage for the past eight or so months are now empty. And their contents are now arranged to resemble a child’s swingset in our back yard, which is now full of thick, green grass. We decided to put off the construction of the swing set to avoid a winter’s worth of weathering. So over a week’s time, Bill spent his nights putting together sections in the garage. And on Saturday, we recruited family help to pull it all together and station it in the back yard. The kids played their parts as mini foremen. 
Noah made sure all the guys stayed hydrated and they both kept a close eye on Uncle Brent’s handiwork with the picnic table.
The tube slide made them think a little though. The instructions can only take you so far, right?
Swings work?Check!
Ladder work? Check!
However, the ladder rungs were just a little too far apart for Noah. He kept putting his foot through the gap as he climbed. I was a little worried he was going to fall through so Bill later added a second set of rungs between each one. It worked out great and now he’s a pro at getting up to the fort and slide!
The next day was Mother’s Day. We had the family over for dinner an had hoped the kids could play on the new swingset. It was a bit icky out, so that didn’t happen. But Alexis & cousin Tristan hung out just the same.
