We got a new swingset this past week. It's actually a funny story. A good friend of ours who is an expert at getting deals on things (she's a single mom) found this swingset on a yahoo group called freecyclefishers. She requested it and went to look at it for us. She gave me a call to see if I was interested and obviously I was. It has been wonderful.
Ethan obviously loves it. He loves to swing. He'll do it for hours. We have a pretty hilly backyard, so it was difficult to find a level placeto put it.
Luckily one of the only level places is right out my bedroom window. So when it is relatively cool in the morning, I open my bedroom window and let Connie take him out and swing him while I accomplish laundry and such. These pictures were from a pleasant evening when we were all out.
Here's a picture of the whole swingset. It's pretty nice and my children and their friends love it. It's pretty weathered, but it came with two swings, a baby swing and the rings. Perfect for our family. We're going to stain it and replace a broken ladder, but otherwise who can beat the price!!
Here's Kyler going down the slide. He likes the slide. With a broken ladder, he just climbs up the slide. He thinks he's pretty clever. They also wanted to be rid of a sandbox. The sand in it was pretty much ruined, so we plan on refilling. Right now, it's like a ball pit and Kyler likes that too. He also thinks it's cool to swing with his baby brother.
Lastly, the little second mom with her baby brother. She takes him out to swing quite a bit. He thought swinging this way was so funny.
