Bradley's BIG Birthday Present







OK - Sorry these are out of order but mom just emailed me a bunch of picutres. Bradley turned three June 11th. We planned to have his party May 27th to have it over with before the birth of Wesley - however Wesley came early and the party wasn't until June 17th. At the beginning of the summer both our neighbors put up wooden swing sets - Bradley wondered where his was so we decided that would be his birthday present. After shopping around we decided the one from Sam's Club was the best value - however, it is somewhat BIG. Bigger than we thought once we got it up. Also our grass had not come up in the back very well so in order to avoid a mud hole after it rained we had to lay down rubber mulch. To sum it all up it turned out to be a week long project. It took us 22 hours to put together the clubhouse - If anyone has gotten one of the Sam's Club clubhouses then you know all the stickers that tell you which board is what have fallen off. The first 3 hours were spent marking all the boards. NOT FUN!!! Anyway it turned out really nice thanks to Dad, Mom, Jim, Wendy, Nick and Nicki.

WOW that is awesome! Our neighbors have a wooden set but it is much, much, much smaller. But Nicholas liked it. I bet Bradley is having a ball! Not like we have the room for it here, but one day it would be fun to have one. We will be back in WV in Nov...maybe Nicholas could stop by and slide if it isn't snowy! Your crew does good work!!
