Building a swingset

.....take FOUR! Yes, Chris has started (and almost completed) his FOURTH swingset for the kids!! He built one in spring 2005 for Hailey (only to see us move to Montana in fall 2005 and leave it there). Then, in spring 2006, he put one together at the new house. In spring 2007, he wasn't happy that things weren't holding up the way they should, so Costco said we could return it and get a new one if we wanted to. Most people would say NO WAY, but Chris said yes he would do that. Spring 2008 he took the year off from swingsets knowing we were moving...and the fear that he would have to do it again! :) So, here we are, Spring 2009....time for another swingset. He is getting very good at it and knowing how the company does things (they have all been the same kind...just different models since they change that every year). He has said that this is the LAST ONE! NO MORE! So, Hailey and Ryan, enjoy this one as Daddy is done! :)

Chris and Kari worked on it all day today...until almost 10:00 tonight (working by flashlight!!). Just a little bit left to do .... and then the fun will begin! The kids are so excited to have it done (and Chris and Kari are too ;) ).
