swingset!

Our swing set has been put to good use since it's inaugural "raising of the flag slide", if you will. Here's the boys with some helpers during the WIP stage. Notice Jack already enjoying himself...

And our very own "Bob" the builders!

Here's Papa once we finally gave him a break to admire his work. As soon as the set was completed, it was like a magnet for the neighborhood kids, who coincidentally all called Herb "Grandpa", so now he's the honorary neighborhood grandpa!

And Jim posing with a hatchet. (Jim thought it was very cool and I could tell he wanted to play Daniel Day Lewis in "The Last of the Mohican's".)

I have no idea why they would have a need for a hatchet for this project...it must be a boy thing!

A true swing set-building warrior!

All I know is that one person in particular is more than pleased with his new toy...

Unfortunately, it looks like rain this weekend so we won't be able to get much use out of it...BUT, we do have a lot of grass seed that needs watering, so there's an upside!

(PS: You know you're old when you are excited about rain so you can get grass growing in your yard!)
