The Stephenson Structure

For Liam and Addy's birthdays and Christmas gifts, my parents got them an awesome play structure for the backyard. We'd been wanting one and after seeing how much my sister's kids love theirs, we went for it.  Liam was *so* excited when daddy started building his 'structure' (that's how he refers to his play structure lol).  We did a LOT of research, so much so that I was tired of looking at these things. :)  We finally decided on this one because it had a little picnic table, 2 swings, a double swing, and some monkey bars.  Because it had so much cool stuff, it had a LOT of pieces. The thing took about 15 hours to put together- no joking. Luckily, Wes is awesome and got it all put together with the Liam's help. Liam would get the tools and the piece and kept checking on Wes's progress.

Liam finally figured out how to pump on his own.  He loves to go out and swing by himself now.

One of Liam's favorite features is the little 'cafe' underneath the slide. It's just a little picnic table, but he uses it as his personal cafe. He made little signs that said, "Open all day" and "Closed all night" to hang out there.  Pretty cute. :)

Thanks, Nana and Papa! We love our play structure!
