backyard wonderland

A few weeks ago we got a new addition to our backyard- a new playset for Auden.  I say the term "new" loosely because we actually got it used off of craigslist and I say "for Auden" loosely because to date the neighbor's kids have used it more than him:-)

Cody had his mind set on the good quality playsets with the brand name Rainbow as they are made from the best wood and have lifetime warranties (he knew it would have to withstand all the neighborhood kids).  However, we certainly didn't want to drop a couple thousand dollars on a new one.  So Cody found one in good condition off of craigslist in a neighboring town for a good price.  The only catch is you have to dissemble and move it yourself.  So, after renting a U haul truck and a bunch of help from the neighborhood dads- we now have a great playset in our backyard! 

We plan to power wash and stain it to get it looking good as new.  Cody also has plans to put an aluminum roof on the fort portion.  Auden loves it and we are confident that it's going to get a lot of use over the next few years with our growing family.
