Working on the Swing Set

The swing set we bought for the kids has been a HUGE hit. Lauren loves to do flips on the bar and to be able to swing big. Austin loves to swing and they both love the slide. I love that we have a playground in our backyard now.

Of course when we bought it we had already talked about adding some stuff to it...Bapo decided he wanted to build a climbing wall. Sunday the wall was done so we asked Dad to come up and help us put it up and help us move the slide (when we set the swing set we didn't really look at where it would shoot out...they were almost going into the rose bushes.) I had already taken out a pork tenderloin so I asked if he and Mom wanted to have dinner with us...Emily was going to have dinner with them so we invited her also.

Emily and I worked on dinner while the guys worked on the swing set and Mom took pictures.



In between checking on the meat Emily played with Austin to help keep him out of the way.

He really wanted to slide while he was at the top so I helped him part way down....

and let him go.....WWWHHHHEEEEEEE!!!

The rock wall is mounted!!! Austin's checkin' out this new addition.

Then he found Bapo's tool bag....hhhmmmm what's in here...

(I'll write about this later.)

Lauren's trying out the wall....

Good job girl!!!

She approves.

We may need to move the rope swing now...

Austin's checkin'it out again.......

He thinks he might try it....

How do I get up there?

Won't be long....he's already on the first rock....

Now to move the slide......

Mike's pulling the boards where we are going to move it...

Austin is going to supervise the move.....

Bapo's trying to get that stinkin' board off.... PULL...(it didn't want to come off.)

Playing in the barn is more fun right now...

Slide's moved....better try it out.

Not in the roses now, mom's happy...

Checking out the work...

Austin found somemore tools....

Look you want to see it.....

Hold on, let me taste it.......

Everything in the mouth.

Once everything was done Lauren was showing us how she can flip.

Time to eat.....doesn't it look good?

So thanks to Bapo for the new climbing wall and help moving the slide.....what's next? Soon it will get some stain so it looks nice.
