Playground set...Part 1

Last fall, some friends of ours from church asked if we would like their neighbor's playground set. Their children were getting older and they were ready to part with it. We were very excited for their generosity. With the help of some family members prior to Levi's birthday party, they were able to disassemble the playground set and move it to our house. It has been sitting on our back patio since then, waiting for the weather to cooperate. Overall, it was in great condition, but did need a few new boards which is why we waited until spring to tackle this project!

Dan's parents came to visit us this week and his dad was able to help Dan start this daunting project. They have made huge progress and were able to assemble half of the playground set. Dan was able to round up a few of the high school students to come over this afternoon to move the play house onto the posts. We were very thankful for their help!! By the end of the day, the boys were even able to go up and climb on it. It was so cute to watch them go in the little playhouse and dance around!!

Some friends of the boys, Kate and Ella, along with their father Marc (their mother Kristin was away on a women's retreat this weekend) came over for a fish fry. They had a lot of fun playing with the boys in the playhouse and on the slide (too bad I didn't get any pictures of that :( ) The work Dan and his dad put into it this weekend was definitely worth it!! Now we just need to get the swings put up :)
