The kids got a BIG gift that took a LOT of time to put together. A few days before Christmas we took the kids over my sisters house to play and we could get to work.


So many pieces I was a little nervous.

I got back from taking the kids to my sisters house and found the base up and ready to go! Gary was able to put that part together by himself with in a hour. This took away my fear just knew it was going to be a long day!!

1 hour

The saucer did not take much time, but the stupid HORSE that is still on the porch is what took for ever. Gary and I both hated by the time we got it hung up!

2 hours

YIPPEE the horse is up!!

3hours

The next hour we were able to get quite a bit done, including a trip to HomeDepot to get new bolts in order to put Dallin's baby swing up instead of the regular swing.

4 hours

5 hours

Now that it was completed and the kids were back home. Keeping the kids out of the backyard a whole another story! All the blinds were down all day and I even suck a extra blanket over the sliding glass door. Just to make sure. And if the kids went near the back of the house I would yell, "to cold to go outside." Poor kids. But Christmas morning after Church


so worth it!

For New Years we had a few friends over and a total of 12 kids from 2-13 years old were out there and it survived! The kids have been outside so much and love it!
