New Playset(s)

One of the items on my list of things to do before the baby comes has been to find a playset for Lance. I know that we are going to be spending a lot more time around the house in the coming months and I've been determined to find an outdoor entertainment center for the big brother.
Not an easy feat in Hilo where the only new playsets to be found are for sale at Costco for almost $2000...

I've been asking around and half-heartedly looking on craigslist- so imagine my delight and surprise when not one, but TWO playsets surfaced in the same week!

The whole fam was set to drive up to Waimea to check out the wooden swingset with playhouse from the ad. But at the last minute, Lance and I decided to stay home due to a terrible cough that the poor guy has been fighting for the past four weeks. So, my faithful husband willingly spent an entire Saturday dismantling and loading our new guest house onto a flatbed trailer because he knew how much I've been wanting this for Lance. Neither of us had ANY idea how enormous this thing was and... well... it's HUGE. But Lance loves it already! And the best part is that even though we're losing our guest room, there's plenty of room in the playhouse for those of you who don't mind camping out! :)

I wasn't kidding about the size... here's a pic with Lance showing the scale

A fresh coat of stain, rearranging the planters in our yard, and a small army to help us move it is all we need before it's ready to go! Don't worry- I'll post some pics when it's up and running.

Our second score was given to us as a hand me down and is perfect for Lance's current speed...
