The swingset is up in our new backyard!!!
I don't mean to brag but
it is so spectacular with a three story playhouse.
What an incredible gift my mother-in-law
gave to our family!
It has been a true labor of love
to create the play area
for our wild boys and it is finally finished!
From clearing out the tall trees
to leveling the land,
we did it all with our own two hands.
So we decided to have a ribbon cutting ceremony
to celebrate the momentous occasion.
I made decorations and placed them with love.
We had a quick dedication on the slide
in front of our little family and my parents.
Griffin said a very short speech that went like this,
"Thanks Dad for all your hard work putting up the swingset...
NOW LET'S PLAY!"
There is a hidden picnic area
under the slide and the rock wall
that I know will house many many picnics.
It felt so nice to watch the first one unfold.

As I watched Griffin feel the thrill
of the wind blowing on his face
as the swing rocked back and forth,
I knew that our backyard home
was going to be a blessing.

I have swingset envy. By the time we can get one of these, I worry my boys will be too old to care.
IT IS AWESOME!!! I know y'all must be having SO much fun!! It is seriously the coolest playground I think I have ever seen.
And I know what hard work it must have been to put it up. Griffin's speech is too cute! What a neat way to welcome the new play area! I love it!!
That really is the mother of all swingsets! How awesome!!
My kids would be jealous if they see this. Maybe I'll put my husband to work on one soon :)
