We have a new swingset

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

With a two-year-old and a newborn, I knew that I’d need to invest in a swingset for the backyard. So, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Walpole Woodworkers and ordered one. It arrived early last week, and this is the first weekend Sadie’s been able to enjoy it. It’s safe to say that she is a fan.

When we run out of the backdoor and down the stairs from the deck, she always heads first to the swings. “Put me on the swing, Daddy.”

“Pull me high, Daddy.”

“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.”

After hours of swinging, Sadie likes to cap it off with a quick run or two down the slide. She doesn’t go down headfirst like her cousin Peter, but she gets some pretty good velocity.

I have a feeling we’ll be spending a lot of time out in the backyard this summer (and likely for the next ten summers or so).
