I've been working on the swingset, all the livelong day...

Keith has been building a swingset in our backyard for a couple of months now, and the project is finally nearing completion. A friend from work lent him a jackhammer, and that has been very helpful digging out trenches and the area for the sandbox. Plus, there's just something awesome about using a jackhammer that looks tough and cool.
 
One of the best features of the swingset is the skateboard swing. Kids and adults alike think it is pretty cool. We saw the idea online, and Keith ordered a skateboard base and built one for us.
This swingset has a station for each of the kids to use simultaneously.
Sareny is the undisputed champion of the skateboard swing. Seriously, I have no idea how she gets it that high.
Keeley loves the baby swing. Plus she has vampire teeth. Strangely, her upper outer teeth grew in before her middle teeth--silly and cute.
Finley has lots of fun on the swings.
She looks cute in both these pictures and I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I went with both.
Here is the clubhouse, slide and fireman's pole. This was before the roof had been put on.
Monkey bars.
All three kids on the skateboard swing.
So glad we finally have something in our backyard for them! The best part about this swingset--it's sturdy enough that adults can play too.
