Dum, Dum, Dummm

Anyone who has talked to me in the past year knows that I have really wanted to get Riley a playground. Tim and I decided to get him one for his Birthday. The boxes came on his Birthday but we didn't tell him about it because we wanted it to be a surprise. The instructions said it would take about 7- 10 hours and that must have been for 2 people. Tim built it all by himself and it took about 2 weeks- totaling about 24 hours. So a lot of labor and love went into building it.

For 2 weeks we kept all the blinds closed. Sometimes he would see pieces of it when we were driving home but I told him his daddy was building a shed. Last Saturday, he was looking out the window in our bedroom and it saw it. He was so excited! He has wanted his own playground for a long time. Thankfully, we've had some beautiful days so we could get out and enjoy it! Riley loves it!!
 




Right now, Riley's favorite part is the glider. He can swing on it for about 30 minutes at one time.


Ethan likes his car swing.


Ethan also likes to crawl around on the ground and eat the grass.
