Swingin'

What a task we had last weekend! Toys R Us had a swing set on sale a few weeks ago that we couldn't pass up for Ryleigh's birthday (yea, a little early, we know...). Bossier Toys R Us didn't have it, but Monroe had several in stock. My parents were nice enough to jet off to Monroe for us on the last day of the sale to get it...what won't grandparents do for their granddaughter?! :-) So my parents, Jarred's parents, MeMaw and us went in to get it for her. My parents came over to help as well as Jarred's dad. It took ALL day last Saturday. We started about 9am, took a short break for lunch, and didn't stop until after 7pm! And still didn't finish! We were missing 3 boards, but luckily they didn't prevent us from having to wait on them to continue on. We did all we could until we were all beat. There was a 60% chance of rain and thank goodness it didn't sprinkle until the very end of the day.
Jarred and I finished up the canopy after the boards came in on Thursday and finished up the picnic table part of the set we hadn't finished last Saturday.
After all said and done, Ryleigh loves swinging in her bucket swing and will hopefully get a lot of use out of it...one day.
