We have been searching high and low for a swing set. We found one we liked, but no one ships to Hawaii or even to a store. Why can Sears bring in huge refrigerators and lawnmowers that you ride on, but they can't bring in a swing and slide? We finally found one at Toys R Us, but it was out of stock and they didn't know when more would be coming in. I've been calling everyday since the end of June and no luck. Eric decided to go on Craig's List and what do you know, someone not too far from us was selling a Little Tikes swing set. It was much bigger than the one we were looking at and it was $100 cheaper. The best part was that it was brand new and in the box. Thank you to Uncle Ray who helped Eric load it in his truck. Those boxes were huge and these gung-ho guys decided to put it together at 7:00 at night when the yard was swarming with termites. They got a little help from Lexie. She wanted to make sure they were doing things right.
Dad, are you sure that goes there?
Uncle Ray, I think you might be putting in the wrong part.
It took about 2-1/2 hours to put everything together.
Lexie had a ball the next day trying it out. There are 2 slides and she's loving climbing up the slide and going down by herself.
She's having fun running over the bridge. Even Maxx and Gohan jumped on it to give it a try. Lexie is still learning to share the space with Gohan. She pulled his hair because he wouldn't move.
I love it!!! Thank you Craig's List! You rock!
Oh my gosh....just look at her obvious joy!! What a super find and I am certain there will be loads of fun to be had on this set!!
