Our "New" Playstructure

Hooray for down-sizing neighbours! Well, "up-sizing" is maybe more appropriate - our neighbours built an addition on their house last year and have discovered this year that they have more stuff than yard. So they decided the play structure had to go.

We had a play structure when we moved in, but it was really old and, alas, one day it started to break and we had to tear it down last summer. The kids were totally bummed.

Well, bust my buttons, but wouldn't you know it - last week our neighbour asked if we would want the play structure since they had no room for it and otherwise it was headed for the dump. Would we?!

We moved it from one side of the fence to the other (and by "we" I mean lots of other people, including The Husband, while I stood and shuffled my feet) yesterday. The Girl immediately got out her paints and started to deface personalize the structure with her own symbology.

Perfect timing for summer, I'd say.
