We installed a new addition to our backyard this weekend, and best of all, my dad flew up to help us put together our new playstructure! I told the kids several months ago that we would be getting it, and every time we went to Costco we looked at it and dreamed about having it in our yard. Needless to say, when Granpa flew in this weekend, they were very excited.
I don't think they had been assembling it for 30 minutes before Abby asked if it was done yet! She had a hard time staying off of it while we were trying to get it all together (which took about 14 hours over two days). During a break, I gave them a snack and let them eat it on the new picnic table. That placated them for a short time.
a longstanding rule...no climbing up the slide!)
Finally, fairly early Sunday morning it was assembled, anchored, and ready to play on! We have had several bumps already, but they are getting the hang of it. I think they each have hit their head on the crossbeam of the playhouse part a dozen times or so, but now they are used to ducking their heads.
