Our New Swing Set

Is swing set one word or two? I'm sure some of the grammar specialists who frequent this site can weigh in on that one.

Anyway, we have a new swingset. And yes, we did have one in our yard already. But that one is wooden (read: "old") and was here when we moved in. This one is a lot like the one we left behind in Aunt Bridget and Uncle Jon's yard.

The girls love the teeter-totter aspect (something our other one did not have) and the slide is also very popular. Some of the older girls have discovered the nasty trick one can play with the teeter-totter. Tears have been shed when one of them decides to jump off before letting the other sister know she's getting off.

Dad likes the look of it. But mowing around it (and having to weed eat around it) can be a bit of a pain.

The girls now know about the "teeter-totter notification rule."

Julia shows off on the slide.

Veronica, like Emily when she was younger, loves to swing.
