We added a feature to our backyard last month — a swing for the boys. And by “we” I mean Bruce did all the design and construction and the rest of us held things up while he assembled it. Here are some photos of the process.
At first we set it up as a test in an easy spot, to see how it went together and how hard it would be to assemble it.
It went pretty well. We took it back down and Bruce made some adjustments. When we installed it in the corner spot we’d picked out, it was tricky because of the bushes and trees. I don’t have many pictures because I was one of the lackeys holding up part of the structure. But I did manage to get one of the boys — they’re wearing their bike helmets for safety.
Finally, it was done! Here’s a blurry picture of Finn trying it out.
And a few days later I surreptitiously took this picture of Ezra after school enjoying a quiet moment.
I sent it to Bruce so he would know all his hard work had paid off.
