We have been wanting to get the boys a swing set for awhile. They asked for $$ to put towards it for recent holidays even. Well H-dog more then W. Our neighbor had a great one we were going to replicate (in our free time). Then this summer she mentioned she had a dream that someone moved her swing set. (She's an older lady). I asked her if she really was ready to part with it. She was and just didn't know what to do with the big thing. I told her we would take it, even buy it from her. Now, remember, no free time for building, and she lives two houses away, so a pretty easy move for us! She said, TAKE IT! No money, nothing. So a few weeks later, okay it was probably like 2 months, we finally had a nice day and time to take it apart, move it, and put it back together. Handy Daddy did some tricks and make it even stronger. Now we just have to get to the store to use that $$ for some new swings. We'll be all set. (Although the boys don't seem to care at all.)
While it's getting colder, we have snuck in a few nice days for swing play. W does not want the baby swing anymore and prefers to sit on the big one. Awesome- just as we finally get to use the baby swing that was a gift for H-dog so many years ago. (It has perviously been used in the basement where dad hung it up from the beams.) So I guess we'll leave it hanging for visitors for a while.
Catch them in action...
