Backyard Climbers
June 01, 2008
We have been desperately wanting a climber type of play structure for the backyard. Kai and Shen are always climbing all over stuff - most of it not meant to be climbed on. We've looked at the big fancy swing sets but they are way too expensive for us and most are too big for the yard. And while swings would be fun to have, what Kai and Shen really seem to need right now is something to climb on. We've been watching Craig's List for the Little Tikes climbers like the one above, but the ones we've seen listed that are big enough for what we need are still more money than we wanted to spend right now. Then our friend's Ken and Laurette (Lana an Lilly's parents) said they had one they didn't want anymore. We went over to their house after Chinese school today to pick it up and found it to be exactly what we were wanting. It's the perfect size for the boys and fits great in the yard. We got it back to our house, put it together and the two boys climbed all over it for well over an hour. Fortunately they worked up and appetite so they were willing to break away for dinner.
