a swingin' good time

do u think littleman is enjoying his new swingset???? you guessed right.....from the second the main tower in the middle was up, he was on it with a big ol' grin. never have i seen him more excited about something, too sweet. cooper and nathan worked very hard last weekend to get this assembled and by sunday evening most everything was complete....very impressive. if you could have seen what the set up looked like...parts and wood everywhere. it took us two hours just to sort the wood out, so i was thinking this was going to span a few weekends, not a few days. i guess beer and guy time made it go faster...funny though, because of that, you would have thought the guys would have made it take longer....i think nathan was almost as excited as jackson to get it up. it did take a few more nights this week to get the final parts, swings, handles, and steering wheel up...but it is pretty much done. i wake up to jackson asking to go out and play first thing every morning...mixed blessing i guess...nah, worth it just to see him smile. here are some snapshots of the process and happy man jack

almost complete, minus one more truckload of mulch and the glider swing
jackson flew up the ladder the second nathan stood the tower up

That is awesome!!! Makes me excited for the next few years to come!! I bet Jackson just loves it! Can't wait to see you! Hi to the family, though, since they won't be down here with you!
