GORILLA SWINGSET... DAY 1

This morning, we awoke to a beautiful crisp fall day... perfect for assembling the boy's new swing-set. After having some breakfast and dressing a little warmer, we ALL headed outside to begin the task.

First on the list - sort all the parts and pieces to assure we have everything.

Luke was a big help with this part.

Then, the assembly began. Again, Luke was right in there giving Daddy a hand.

By lunch-time, we had the main frame of the fort portion put together.

After lunch, first on the agenda was to level the ground under the fort. Marc went and borrowed the Usas' mini trailer so he could haul dirt from up in the yard and gravel from the driveway. Daddy's little shadow was right next to him doing everything Daddy was doing.

By dinnertime, the fort portion was pretty much complete, and Luke had already been testing the slide out MULTIPLE times.

And where was Porkchop all this time, you ask?

Just being cute!!! And yes, that is dirt on his bottom lip.

Tune in tomorrow to see the completed swing set.
