FINALLY, the swingset is on the way!

This is the design we created. You can't quite see, but there are two climbing walls on the backside, one 5ft wall on the back of the fort and one 7ft wall on the fundeck. The top level of the fort is big enough to camp in. I can't wait to play on this thing! (and I wont have to wait long, we should have the materials by the first weekend in March.)

You can also see a bird's eye view of the set by cutting and pasting this link: http://www.cedarworks.com/preview/dp.php?pid=821137-7
You can really see what we are getting with this program by moving your mouse over the parts of the set.

Swingset Update

Well, we have raised $3200 so far towards the swinget/playset. This is the website where we are designing our set: http://cedarworks.com/. If you launch the design program, you can use galen_mack@hotmail.com to see our design. It looks like we will need just over $4000 to get started. I will update again when we are going to start construction. Many, many thanks to everyone who contributed!

NO TOYS THIS YEAR PLEASE

We are taking up a collection for the girls this year. These are some swingsets we found online. The prices are just for the materials, so it will be more with shipping. Daddy Mack and his buddies will put it together. (of course)

This is the swingset we would get if we had $10,000. For just under $6,000 we can get this with only one clubhouse.




It would look more like this one, with more swings on the other side.



This swingset is only $2000, but it is not made of redwood and won't last as long and, there is no clubhouse under the deck.

We realize these are more advanced than the girls are now, but they will get bigger and we only want to build one swingset.
