Playhouse!

The playhouse/swing set is BUILT!!!! It is AWESOME!!! I cannot thank Jerry enough for building it. I know the kids will enjoy it for many, many years. I think it is the envy of the neighborhood. The neighbor girls are always wanting to some over and play on it and the other neighbor with small kids said that her kids have been watching it being built with much excitement and jealousy. It is definitely the biggest one in the neighborhood!

The kids loved watching it being built. Jerry could not build it fast enough for them!

Julia helping with the first part.



Her job was to hand the screws to Bapa.





Halfway done! Both platforms are built and railings installed. The slide also just went on.



We waited to put the steps on until all the railings/sides were on. That way the kids could not get up on it and then fall off.

The stairs are on! The kids love the "tower". They are really into the movie "Tangled" right now, so the "tower" is the tower Rapunzel is trapped in.


The finished product!! The sandbox is in and the swings are on! Next year we will put a tire swing where the baby swing is now.


The blue tarp attaches to cover the sandbox when not in use so the stray neighborhood cats don't use it as a giant litter box.



The playhouse turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Julia keeps begging to sleep out in the "tower".
