Last week Anya’s new playset from Grandma Diane and Uncle David and Aunt Nancy arrived. All one thousand pounds of it. Last weekend, Anya and I put it together. Cabol helped a little bit too. It would be great if there were pictures of us putting it together, but Cabol has learned to hide far, far away whenever I am trying to build something.

Ok, it may not look completely level, but that is just an optical illusion. Or the fact that our house is built on top of a mountain. But a half ton of wood tends not to shift once it is in place.

Anya loves it. I will probably cover up the opening on top where the monkey bars end with a railing, since she is too small to use them right now, and I’m afraid she’ll roll out one day (see ‘built on top of a mountain’ above).
