It was a lovely weekend. The weather was great and it was the perfect setting for assembling the kids birthday present---a playset. We had 5 large boxes totalling some 900+ lbs. delivered and waiting for assembly. We had looked at play sets at many different vendors and on-line and decided to go the DIY route as it saved us nearly $700! It turned out to be relatively easy and well worth the savings!
Matt and I started organizing and assembling on Saturday and then Sunday we had help from our friends, Bryan & Sue, and as always, our chief supervisor, Chloe, was on hand to assist as she saw fit.

It turns out that we had one wrong piece in our shipment and we will have to have the correct part shipped out. It doesn't prevent us from using the playset, only from putting the canopy up on the play deck.
Here's to many years of play (of course, now that it is up, its supposed to rain all this week!)....
