Last night we had some friends over for the first bonfire of the summer. As we enjoyed a few drinks and reminsced about the school year our kids played on the swingset. Of course, the swingset reminded me of dad.
A few years ago we decided to take the plunge and buy a swingset. Now, we are way too cheap for the Rainbow play systems so we decided to buy one at Menards and built it ourselves ( well, sort of). We put a call into dad and it wasn't a week later that he and mom came down to help with the project. It took the better part of the day to set up the swingset and when it was finally complete my dad's eyes sparkled as he watched the kids swinging and climbing.
Our swingset is one of the smaller ones in the neighborhood. It doesn't have a fancy look-out tower, flags or a pirate ship but I think it's the perfect swingset....all because of the love that was put into building it.
