A New Swing Set

May 10, 2008
MaKayla is growing so fast and is our little monkey. She loves to climb on anything that stands still or is moving. She plays with the other day care kids on the swing set and outdoors almost everyday. When Andy takes her for a walk she points to swing sets that she sees in other yards and doesn’t understand why she can go and play. We decided it was time to get her a swing set for our yard. Andy was going to build one but when I found this particular swing set in the paper for $200 we just couldn’t pass it up. It is less than a year old and the wood is in perfect condition. The green is just out of the wood and ready to be stained. We were lucky to get it. I begged the guy selling it not to return any other calls until Andy had a chance to run over and look at it. He gave us a half hour to get back to him. So after borrowing a large trailer to get it home it was ours. Andy bolted it back together in less than a half hour on Saturday. After MaKayla woke up from her nap she had a nice surprise. She LOVES IT!! She could sit and swing for an hour strait.

MaKayla’s playing on her new swing set with Daddy and Ike supervising.

She tried so hard to do it all by herself but the rocks were just a little too high for her feet.

She was a little unsure of going down the slide the first couple of times until Daddy reassured her and helped her. It didn’t take long until she was sliding down and running back to go down again.

Here she is climbing up to the slide.

purchased this dolphin swing from ebay. I just love this picture of her in it.

MaKayla feels more comfortable going down the slide on her tummy.
