The Swing Set!

We have been planning on getting a new swing set all spring but have been waiting for the snow to melt.  We finally went down to Ogden and picked it up a few weeks ago (Saturday, April 10th).  It is a galvanized steel swing set with a 10 foot wavy slide, a fire pole, monkey bars, a covered platform, gymnastic rings, a trapeze bar and 4 swings. We got it home and started assembling and digging post holes.  Then on Monday Jason picked up the cement and we started cementing in the poles.  It took a couple of nights due to the weather, soccer games and only being able to work on it after work but Jason finally got it done.  Then on Saturday, April 17th we finished by putting on the slide and swings and tightening everything up.  It was worth the wait and the kids are LOVING it!!!

All loaded up.

I think they are excited. Little do they know they won't be able to actually play on it for a week.

Assembleing. Much easier and faster then the wood set we had at our old house.

We recruited the neighbor to help us dig the post holes.

Yes that is a handful of worms! Yuck!!!

Kassie made pine needle soup while she waited for us to get her swing set done. By the way she doesn't like swing sets without swings.

On Saturday the cement was dry and it was time to add the finishing touches.  Between soccer games I tightened everything up and attached the swings while Jason put on the slide and canopy. Mikele is cleaning off the ladder steps so we could put on these slip prevention strips.

Brock filled back in the post holes.

We are almost done. To bad we have to leave for Brock's soccer game.

YEAH IT IS DONE!!!

So I think they are enjoying their new swing set.  I also can hook Allie's baby swing on I just don't have any pictures because she was taking a nap when I took these.
