Our new Playset!

I thought I would blog about the new addition to our yard. We bought the kids a new play set for their 3rd birthday. It was not actually new as it was a used one that we bought from my boss but it is new to us.
My boss and his wife approached me last fall about their Rainbow Play set to see if we wanted to buy it from them. We knew nothing about play sets so we set out to do some research on them. We headed over to the Rainbow Play Systems warehouse in our area with the kids and Grandma and Grandpa in tow. They have 14 to 15 play sets all ready to go that he kids could climb on and have fun.
It was amazing and so much fun. However, the price of a new set was not so amazing it was horrifying. They are very expensive. The salesman that we were working on showed us the pros and cons of buying new verse old. We we would have loved to purchase the brand new play set but with Jon's job transitions we decided it was probably better to buy the used set.


We LOVE it and we are happy with our decision and it was 1/4 the price. The kids love it too and they do not know the difference. Kendrick is now always on the look out for play sets now and he will shout out "they have a play set like we do"
Their new favorite thing to do on the play set is to climb up the slide and pile on top of each other and slide down. They do this for 45 minutes sometimes. It is fun to watch.

As Jon says, all we need now is three automatic swingers and life will be good. The kids would swing for hours on end if we would let them.


I am sure we will get many years of use out of this awesome play system.
