Last month we were on our way to Home Depot for
the “Kids Workshop” when Paul and I spotted something on the side of the road.
It was large trash pick-up that day and someone was THROWING AWAY 2 huge playground
slides. We stopped and asked the
guy (who was in his driveway) if those were really meant for the trash and if
we could take them. He said he ordered a playset from Costco and they
accidentally sent him three slides. He had kept them in his garage for about a
year and was finally clearing it out.
He said we were welcome to take them, so of course, we DID. We always keep tie downs in the car,
just in case we need them, so we strapped the slides on top and went to Home
Depot. Home Depot was fun as
usual. They built little trays for flowers, but we use them for other
things. Lullaby dressed in orange
for the occasion.
When we got home, Paul went straight to work. He
tore down the ladder from the front of the fortress, added it to the side,
knocked out some bars so the boys could crawl through again, cut a few pieces
of wood to made the new slides stronger, and added them! We decided having both slides on one side would be the most fun, now the boys can RACE!
Helpful Hawken...
The boys are IN LOVEEEEEE with their new slides.
We are pretty much done with the fortress now… Well, unless we find more free
slides… :) It is pretty amazing though huh? Good job Paul!!
And here it is in all it's glory... The latest addition of the fortress!
Lullaby is happy just watching all the action
from her favorite spot in the grass.

That is totally amazing! What fun they will have! Way to go Paul!
Ha ha I LOVE that you guys carry tie downs in your car all the time because you never know what great find there might be- and I guess you are right because you guys have gotten a lot of cool free stuff! Wish we lived close to come play!
So awesome and fun!
It's getting pretty big! Alexandra has been working on me to get a slide for ours.
Wow that has grown, you have a great park in your back yard. The kids are so cute and little Lullaby is just a doll.

How fun! There are some crazy road-side finds around here. We have yet to come up with anything good for us, but we've heard plenty of stories like these.
Good talk on Sunday by the way. I didn't get a chance to tell you in person.
