It has FINALLY happened! We are swing set owners! It only took how many tries?? Humm, I think the count was 5! 5 times we were promised a swing set and 5 times the price was jacked up at the last minute or it was given away after being promised to us! Talk about major disappointment, we’ve been searching since last spring! Sunday was the big day. Deric, his Dad, and Jordan took off bright and early to pick it up. With the luck we’ve had we didn’t tell the kids what was going on just incase it went wrong… again! I figured it would be around 1 before they would be back, so imagine my surprise when they pulled in at 11! I actually ran to the window to see if they actually had the swing set on the trailer! I thought there was no way there was enough time to get there and back and take it appart. But I guess my hubby is just that good! *grin* There were threats of storms all day, but they managed to miss all of them… until it was time to set the swing set up! It wasn’t raining too hard, just enough to be a pain. Deric and his dad worked right through it (along with the kids too!)
I stayed inside, I didn’t want to get wet (plus I was making lunch)!
I was so surprised how quickly they got it back up.
He said he was ‘working’ inside the playhouse, but I think he was checking it out!

Brody couldn’t catch himself if his life depended on it! EVERY time he would slide off the bottom and skid on the grass!
Isn’t it pretty cute? It wasn’t great as some of the sets I was promised, but I’m not complaining! I’m just glad we finally have one! Plus we are going to be doing a little remodeling on it! Who us?? Of course! It’s what we do! I’m not sure when the room addition is going to take place, but I’ll show ya pictures when does.
And to wrap things up I gave Deric his Fathers day gift too. He has been wanting a fire pit for a while and we’ve been checking Craigslist, Freecycle, and garage sales with no luck. So I gave up and just bought him a new one. The kids played all day on the swing set and Deric and I sat by our fire. We even made hot dogs over it and s’mores for dessert! It is kinda silly, but it really feels like home outside now! It just seems cozier now!

nice swing set! the kids are going to have so much fun with it!! And I'm glad you had a picture where it wasn't on an angle - i was getting dizzy. We love our firepit too!!
So fun! I'm glad you finally got one. It looks great! I also think it's rather amusing that you want to remodel a swing set.
How fun! I Love it! Looks like a great set and I can't wait to see the addition. Great Father's day gift too!
