And so it begins...

Marley is turning four this week - and she is one lucky girl to be the proud new owner of one sweet swing set! This weekend we had building party to construct all thirty nine phases of this monstrosity. Jessie and I had already spent about 2 1/2 hours, separating, labeling and bundling all of the phases. Saturday, several friends and family members & thier dogs gathered in our backyard to put it all together.Kenzie was happy to lend a helping hand.

Look! A Loftin, we were so happy to get a visit from Chris, Bri, and Clayton - even though it was a crazy whirlwind!

Hurry up! We are ready to swing!

Kenzie was really digging all of the tools.

And the watermelon.

They worked late into the night, but they were determined to get it done.

They finished at about ten thirty that night - a mere 10 hours after they started! Since all of the reviews that we read said most people built in about 40 hours, the men felt victorious! Marley was in heaven, until I drug her inside and hosed her off!

Thanks to everyone who helped, we had a blast. Let the playing begin!
