As many of you know, my wife had this "great" idea about getting an "Easter" playset for the kids. I was quite skeptical at first, but then finally agreed to go along with it. So, the shopping began. (Online shopping of course from the comfort of the couch.) The plan was to make the big purchase once we got the good old tax return back and shoot for an Easter unveiling. Fortunately, we got our tax return back much sooner than we expected. Unfortunately, "our" first priority was to buy the playset. This was mid-February, aka the dead of winter in Utah. So, the "Easter" playset which comes packaged as 10,000 different parts, soon became "K's birthday" playset. Excellent, I had a week to build it. I am a big fan of Legos and the "some-assembly-required" products for children. If you build it yourself then it costs less right? Wrong! Not when there are 10,000 - 100,000 pieces, it's the dead of winter, the dog's have pooped on every single inch of the backyard over the winter and it gets really cold once the sun goes down.
Sorry to make this such a long story. Well, thanks to my father-in-law, brother and cousin we finished this bad boy on K's birthday. Now I present to you K's Birthday Slide (that's what he calls it).
It is a thing of beauty, and yes it was a "great" idea. I've had a change of heart. K loves it along with all his friends and cousins.
