wa-la we have a swingset

After a couple days of working on it off and on, the swing set is officially put together and in working order. All the reviews said that it would take about 8 hours to put it together but that was with the help of another adult.....Dan did it alone and it only took him a little more than 10 over the course of a couple days.....but man there were a LOT of parts!!! We have had beautiful weather the last couple of days which has made it fantastic to go out and play in our very own backyard. Maddie is in LOVE with the slide. She needs help getting up the ladder because her legs are still too short to do it alone, but she can sit herself down and slide all on her own. She also really enjoys the baby swing and the glider although she told me that she needs a friend to go on that with her :o). So, here are some pictures of the building and enjoying of the swingset.

P.S. Maddie's face met with some cement driveway this past Tuesday so she looks a little battered, but she is fine and dandy....just didn't want anyone to be alarmed.....we aren't beating her!!
