Max and Alex get a swingset

We had talked a while about how our yard would be great for a swing set. We thought about getting one for Christmas, but we than we thought how we really didn't want to put one together in middle of winter, and how if we put it together in the middle of winter, than Max wouldn't really be able to play with it becuase it would be too cold.....than we thought we'd get it for his Birthday - February 16th - than we convinced ourselves we would have the same problems...finally we decided in April that the weather was good enough to build him a swing set, and since we knew already there was an Alex on the way - it is now Max and Alex's swing set. This has already and will save us numerous daily trips to the neighborhood park now that we have a little park of our own, and it will give me and mike a chance to work in the garden or the flower beds or relax on the deck while Max (and soon Alex) play on the swing set, or as Max calls it "my house".

My dad was so nice and not only helped us pick up the swing set from site to store but also helped us put it together. Max was a big helper too.

you would not believe how many pieces of wood a small swing set takes


The finished product looks great!


The men are done - we celebrated with steaks on the deck
