Sunday Swing Project

A new addition to the house is a big swing set. This was a part of the kids birthday and christmas presents and a much needed distraction for them. So we bought the set a few months ago, but have not had a chance to put it up. Luckily my sisters and brother-in-law were not busy on Sunday (5-16-10) and it looked like the rain was going to stay away, so at 10:30am Dennis and Jimmy started the project. At 11am, Dennis said I better start calling in for more help. So Tina pitched in and read directions and my sister Connie came over as well to help. My job was to keep the kids busy. I took them to McDonalds to play and eat and luckily they fell asleep after that. Here is what the play set looked like by 3:00pm when the kids woke up.




All the worker bees hard at work ...


Work in progress - just the monkey bars and swing area to go...

Kyrah seems to like sitting up in her clubhouse...

Broden seems a little unsure at the moment...

At 5:30 after only 7 hours and 4 workers, we have a great swingset/clubhouse - actualy name is called the Ridgeway Swing Set. Look at all the fun they are having.





The final result after a hard days work and just in time before the rain started.


Oh and only a few washers and one nut left over...not too bad! Thanks Dad for working so hard!
