THE NEW SWING SET!!!

Last Thursday, Umpa and GG surprised us by coming up for a visit and to see the new baby. They brought with them a swing set that one of their tenants had left behind. On Saturday afternoon I put it together, and today Sarah had Bowden and Lucy don aprons from the kitchen and give it a good scrub with soap and water. Bowden and Lucy love it!!! They especially enjoy the "Rocket Rider," which Bowden says makes him feel like a cowboy. Their mutual fascination with the rocket rider resulted in that being the most thoroughly scrubbed portion of the swing set. Lucy also appreciates the slide, which is at least twice as tall (and therefore twice as fun) as her old slide. Our yard has never been more fun and is increasingly becoming ideal kid habitat.
