Whenever the weather decides to cooperate, my husband and I are going to spend a few weekends getting the backyard ready for summer. We had a deck built last year, but didn’t have any money to buy some real patio furniture, so that’s one of the things we’re going to focus on this year. In addition, we’d like to buy a swing set or something similar for our son to have fun with.
I was actually checking out some swing sets online today, and my jaw literally dropped at how elaborate some of them are. I had a swing set when I was a kid. It had two swings, a see-saw type thing, and a tiny little slide. I thought it was the greatest play area in the world back then, but just take a look at what’s available today:

Can you believe that? I would have had an absolute blast on something like this! Too bad this particular set is way too huge for our yard….
