We decided to go in with my mom and Jim and buy Ansley a swing set for her first birthday. I know that it's not for another month but we didn't want to wait for half of the summer to go by before she got to use it! Troy helped a friend of his put one together for their son a year ago so I knew this was going to be a serious project that would take all day to complete. We sent Ansley to grandma and grandpa Reeves' house Friday and got to building. I knew when the instruction manual said 'please allow 6-12 hours for construction' we were in for a long day...
As you can see, absolutely no part of this swing set came already put together...even the slide had to be assembled.
Troy's face says it all in this one!
Rain and lack of daylight stopped us from being able to finish up Friday. Troy and his dad had to move the tower part to the yard before we assembled the swing section and added the slide. It would have been too heavy to move it all at one time!
And Ta-Da! We picked back up Saturday morning and Ansley was swinging away Saturday afternoon! Total assembly time...8 hours. AND we found out that Troy and I make a better team than we imagined!

Sampson has made himself a nice little home in the shaded part at the bottom of the tower. I believe he thinks that we did all of this for him.
