The Kanes: "Wing, Wing"

Our little munchkin LOVES to swing! She swings at the park with both grandma and Nana when she visits during the week and was lucky enough to have temporary swings in her backyard for most of the summer until the old owners of our house were ready to put their swing set up at the house they are building. Fortunately, Cammie was not home the day the swing set left our house. I knew I couldn't let her be home...she would have been devastated. When she finally ventured to the backyard a day or two later she looked at the empty grass and asked to "wing" over and over with such a sad face it broke my heart. I knew Chris and I had to do something. I couldn't bear to see that face each day. :( We had been discussing what we were going to do once the swing set was gone for a large part of the summer. We both decided we would wait for the swing set at Sam's Club to go on sale and buy it once did. That plan didn't last long....we barely made it 2 weeks. :) Chris and I priced swing sets online for about a week, but decided to go with the one at Sam's. I knew many people who had bought swing sets at Sam's and had relatively positive things to say about them. We called a few days in a row to check the price then decided to just bite the bullet and buy it. Part of our decision to buy was that her birthday was quickly approaching and I knew I wanted to have a party as an excuse to invite people over to see our house (people had been asking me all summer :/). Another reason we decided to buy that day was my dad volunteered to spend his only Saturday of the month off and help put it together over the upcoming weekend. Finally, the weather was supposed to be absolutely gorgeous....in the 80's and you don't get any better than that in the middle of August. Chris, Dad and Nick ("Dick" as Cammie calls him) worked all day Saturday and half of Sunday to get it together. We are so fortunate to have such awesome people in our lives! Right as they finished C woke up from a nap and headed outside to see the finished product. Although she did not show her true excitement (it takes her a while to actually wake up most days) she is in love with her new toy! The only down side: Brohdi can't climb up this one and sit with her in the house. :) Thank you to 3 of my favorite guys! You are the best!
