We're swingin'

Saturday, we picked up our new swing set. Well actually, it's about 15 years old, but it's new to us! We are so excited! We have my brother and his family to thank for this donation. He and his father-in-law built the swing set when my niece was 2 years old. It's made out of 10.5 foot steel pipes and built so strong that an adult can swing on it. They even made a glider for it. Dave and my brother spent 3 hours taking it apart on Saturday. They were able to fit it INSIDE the minivan for the hour-and-a-half drive home. Dave spent most all of Father's Day putting it together. He still has the glider to finish. What a DAD! It needs a new coat of paint, and the glider seats need re-upholstering. But otherwise it was operational today. The girls had a blast swinging together this afternoon. Linda was swinging herself on her without someone pushing her for the first time today. Yay!!
