New Swingset!!

We got a new swing set!! Well, it's really more than just a swing set, it's a whole swing/sandbox/elevated fort "system":-) We have been on the lookout for one since the one that used to be in the backyard was sent to the recycling center when it became too wobbly. We weren't finding much when my aunt and uncle's neighbor said that we could have theirs if we moved it...and by "we", I mean Seth because I was of no help in that department! Luckily, we have FANTASTICALLY skilled and generous friends and family members who helped out tremendously! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Steve for borrowing his impact wrench (I think that's what it's called anyway, like I said, not my department) to the project. Also a HUGE thank you to Kyle, Gary, Joe and Alex without who this would not have been possible and certainly wouldn't have been completed in a day and a half!! You guys are the greatest and Josiah, Seth and I appreciate it more than you know!!!! And of course, another BIG BIG thank you to the Wilson family for passing on this great toy to us, it will be put to good use, I promise!! I did not get any pictures of the actual moving/reconstructing process, I failed there but here are a few cute shots from the weekend and a shot of the complete set...
Olivia and Josiah supervised
Miles is all packed up and ready to go after his daddy spent a LONG day helping out!
Part of the crew at the celebratory "We're done!" pizza party!! Malkin checking out the completed project (he also christened the tree on the way for extra protection...thanks buddy!)
This is a shot of the unit in the Wilson's yard before being disassembled and reassembled but it's the best shot I have of it so far...pretty fancy, no?!
