Swingset

We had planned to buy a nice wooden playset for the kids for their birthdays this year, but decided that the cost was more than we were willing to spend. At that time we decided to go with a more affordable metal swingset and actually bought one at Farm and Fleet. After several weeks of it sitting in the garage, I figured that it would be like all other SAR ("Some Assembly Required") items in our house. Either it would sit for the next 5 years and not get put together or I would get tired of it sitting in the box and attempt to put it together myself. Upon making this realization, I convinced Randy that we should just take the swingset back because Reese had been asking for a 2 wheeled bike. We took the swingset back and bought a 2 wheeled bike for Reese for her birthday. When we bought the bike, we decided to buy a Little Tikes swing for Aidan because he ended up without a real present since his birthday was at the beginning of this whole ordeal when we planned on doing the wood playset. I finally took the swing out today and hung it from some hooks on the pergola on our deck. I ended up taking turns pushing each of the kids in the swing for over an hour this morning and they begged to go back out and swing this afternoon. I am so glad that we ended up purchasing the swing instead of the whole swingset. It got installed within a week of purchase and was definitely well worth the monetary investment!
