We decided to take the plunge and invest in a play set. I have wanted to put one in for a while but Rob has been reluctant. Highlands Ranch doesn't offer the most spacious of back yards and I think he thought we would have zero room for anything else. But I finally convinced him we would still in fact have some grass to play soccer or run.
One of my main reasons for wanting one is that our child loves the park, loves to climb and loves to swing. We go to the park a lot, but sometimes it would be nice if she could do these things and I could still get some laundry done. Plus, they are just fun and great entertainment.
Since we are not handy people (and I didn't want to take the last bit of sanity Rob is hanging onto), we had the company install it for us. So worth it. They were done in 4 hours.
Adriana watched them out the window for about 3 of those 4 hours. She was so excited. She would announce, about every 3 minutes, what progress was made. And finally when the time came, she went outside and I am not sure, but I think there were tears of joy in her eyes. She would go test it out and run back and give me a huge hug and tell me she loved me. I think I got about 10 big hugs an hour that first day.
It has already proved to be a great investment.
