The Swing Set

Last month we decided that little Miss Lydia and of course one day Caroline too needed a swing set.  We had spent some time looking at different options and decided to purchase a kit from Sam's.  We traveled the distance to pick it up and when we did we were surprised that it came in four VERY thin boxes and had a green plastic slide.  So, we loaded it up and headed home.  Kane was in a big hurry to get it assembled.  I mean what was ONE more project added to our already very long list.  Kane along with the help of his father whipped this out.  Not sure how many hours they spent...but, I am pretty sure they won't be signing up to put another one together anytime soon :) 

ALL the wood!  Kane couldn't believe how they got some many pieces in one skinny box!!
AND here is all the screws and bolts :)
One more pic before assembly started

Kane started putting this together in front of the shop..so he had to move it some how...I was a bit nervous for this and had to go inside!  Kane's parents and Frost helping out!

The finished product and a rainbow to boot :)  Lydia has already put in some major hours playing on "her swing set."  The first evening it was finished Lydia came in crying so I just knew she had fallen...nope just didn't want to come in!

Looks wonderful! We can't wait to come try it out. I am amazed at the boxes full of wood, screws and bolts. That gives me a headache just looking at it!!

You need to send that last picture to the company that makes these! It looks like it's out of a magazine with the rainbow!

Very nice!! I'm sure it will get lots of use! I'm always nervous about Katie falling too, but she has no fear.
