One highlight of our summer was getting a "new to us" swing set for the kids. I advertised our old metal swing set on facebook, and it was literally sold with in two minutes!! Monte's sister's kids had outgrown this one, so they offered to give it to us! Monte borrowed his dad's big trailer, and hauled it 60 miles to our house, that was quite the big load! It has gotten SO much use over the summer, and I know it will get so much more for years to come. The whole upper part of it Isabella uses as a play house, she's got a phone attached to the wall in there, and a chair. Monte filled the bottom part, under the play house, with small rocks, so now the kids have a rock box to play in. Since he made that, they hardly ever play in their sand box, and I love it, since it's so much less messy than sand.
Here she was being Rapunzel up in her tower.
Jaymes loves the rock box!
This was taken after I spent hours of precious nap times staining it!
Jaymes can't quite master the big slide, so Grandma and Grandpa got him an early birthday present. I think I'm going to move it inside for the winter, too.
