Natalie has waited with much anticipation for the day Ben would OK a swing set of her very own. We passed up a few free offers back when Natalie was just a baby thinking, "we don't need a swing set". But the day came when the pros outweighed the cons and we are proud owners of an awesome swing set!
I looked for almost 6 months on craigslist, even drove out to several yards to inspect what they had. None were exactly what we needed. Too big, too small, too unsteady, to expensive...the excuses came easily. Finally Ben gave me the green light to find JUST the right one online.
Ebay of all places had a perfect one for us...enough swings...a clubhouse on the bottom so we don't have to worry about Ally falling out, even monkey bars which weren't a "must have". FREE shipping! You have to LOVE Ebay!
The freight truck pulled in Wednesday morning and Ben had a few guys come over 7am Thursday to try to get it all done. Done it is! We are so proud of our new addition to the yard. And a BIG thanks to Larry and Steve who brought their tools, patience and bad jokes!
Turns out we do have "something" in common with the Obama's.
