Brian and I had talked about adding a playset in our backyard at some point. We have a big enough yard to include one and we know we'd get a ton of use out of it. So this year we bit the bullet and decided to add one. We looked around a few different places and brands and decided on a nice, sturdy, two story playset from Costco. The price was right and so were all the bells and whistles.
On Friday, our playset was delivered and Kate, Maya, and I had the pleasure of watching it being unloaded!
 |
| Lots-a-boxes! |
 |
| Lots-a-finagling! |
 |
| Lots-a-smiles! |
We had some beautiful weather, like, AMAZING, so of course we busted out our bathing suits and our sprinkler.
 |
| I feel like this is the quintessential childhood picture. |
 |
| And I just adore Kate's bathing suit! |
After much deliberation on whether or not Brian and Tom should tackle putting the playset together, it was ultimately decided that this project, while definitely within reach of skill set, was not one that either Brian or Tom wanted to be working on all weekend. So we hired some guys from an outdoor rec business to help us put it together.
With the unseasonably warm weather forecasted for the weekend, it was the perfect time to get started on our newest home addition!
 |
| Backyard: BEFORE! |
 |
While the guys got started, Kate got ready for soccer:
complete with a dress, a necklace, a bracelet, and
nearly ten sparkly hair clips. |
 |
| It's like a massive puzzle. |
 |
| A massive, 3-D puzzle, that is. |
 |
| Kate was the best helper. |
 |
| Most adorable too! |
 |
She also put her cup of water along side of the rest of the team's.
I thought it was the cutest thing ever. |
 |
Maya wants a cup of water too and knows exactly where to get
FOUR of them. |
 |
| Progress! |
 |
Meanwhile, the girls and I played with some beans
and those cute little curled toes absolutely stole my
heart. |
 |
| Nearly swinging! |
 |
At the end of the first day, the team was nearly complete. Just the
twirly slide and a few nuts and bolts and we were going to be all set. |
It took the guys we hired about a day and a half to put this together and they were working hard and non-stop for the entire time. It was hot outside and Brian and Tom both agreed that their help was one of the best decisions ever!
On Sunday, we had Tom and Mary over for dinner to help us enjoy our brand new playset which was completely put together!
 |
| Early birds, ready to get this show on the road! |
 |
| The twirly slide is a huge hit! |
 |
| Maya's not so sure just yet... |
 |
| Were you wondering if Kate is sure?! |
 |
| Yep. She is! |
 |
| Backyard: AFTER! Complete. |
 |
Wait. NOW it's officially complete. Kate and Jack running to
the playset is the cutest thing ever. |
Welcome to our Jungle!
