New (used) Swing Set

We had been thinking of getting a swing set for Julia for the backyard. I had an idea to post an ad on craigslist to see if anyone would trade our elliptical for a swing set. Amazingly enough I had 5 or 6 replys. The lady that I ended up trading with was so sweet & so excited about getting the elliptical, it worked out perfect. I was looking for a certain brand that is known for quality & even though this one is 7 year old it is still in really good condition. I think once we stain it, it will look great. Jake got it all back together yesterday & Julia loved it.

PS. Thanks Uncle Brad & Uncle Joe for your help! We couldn't have done it without you. Also, thanks Geea for working like a dog & scrubbing all the mold & fungus off of it...we love you!

Maybe if you get a sandbox for that portion underneath the house (or make your own) Julia will get used to the sand in time for next summer!
