My parents are great at finding deals....this deal was hard to beat - especially for the TN Luttentons:) My dad saw an ad in the hardware store in MI that posted a playscape for free as long as you moved the playscape out of the owner's yard. 10 hours of de-construction later the playscape was at my parent's house. My dad power washed it and re-stained the entire set. My mom carefully marked all of the bolts and screws so it could be re-assembled. Fast forward to the entire playscape fitting into my parent's minivan with them driving 10 hours with a 13ft slide between the two of them and you have the pieces below in our yard. Now add in a sunny 95 degree day with high humidity, very helpful and kind neighbors with the necessary tools and a 3 year old who can't wait for HER playground to be "maked". 6 hours later the playscape was together complete with the beginning of an in ground sandbox under the tree house and three very tired and sweaty gentleman. It looks so good in our yard and Marin Dalby is over the moon for her "swinged set and sride"(swing set and slide).

I love it! I'm laughing out loud thinking of your parents driving that long with a slide in between them. Can you imagine yelling over the top of that thing for hours in the car?? But grandparents have no problems going above and beyond. :-)
