The Swing Sets!!

For Cameron and Kasey's birthdays', we decided to build them a new swing set that had a little play house underneath. We wanted to get it done in between their birthdays and this weekend was perfect weather to get it done. Cameron was all excited and helped Chris whenever he could.


It took us both days to almost finish it, but at the end of day one we had the swings functioning and they both enjoyed them.
At the end of the second day we had it done (except for the roof and a couple of floor boards inside the play house). Kasey likes the idea of the slide.We realized after we built it that the slide was too fast (Cameron was catching air on the bumps). We fixed it Tuesday evening. No pictures after the fix, but Cameron is no longer scared of it.Kasey likes the rock wall ....
a little too much though. I think my relaxing summer just went up in smoke. We are working on a way to keep him from climbing it.Cameron picked out the handle for the house. He wanted one that had flowers since Mom loves flowers. What a sweetheart!They are both enjoying the little house. Cameron keeps asking to go out to "his new little house."

Cameron asked what we are doing with the old swing set and I told him we could give it to a friend of his who doesn't have a swing set. After a little while he came back with the idea that his friend Sage didn't have a swing set, so we called Sage's Mom and they said they would love it. That swing set has made the rounds. It started out at our house, but Cam was to young for it when we moved in so it went to Tiffini's house where her boys played with it for a few years. After they moved, it came back to our house and we decided to build the new one so it's off to Sage's house. That little swing set has been well loved!
