Playground Revamped

A few weeks ago, Scott and the boys got started on revamping the playground.  We've had the playground for around 4 years (I think) and we have gotten so much use out of it!  The boys still love it, the neighborhood kids enjoy it, and Alaina will soon get her use out of it too!  The only problem is that this is what it looked like before the revamp took place.  It wasn't always leaning like this, but through the years of settling into the ground and the swings on the other side being swung on, it was swaying back and forth too much for this Mommy's liking!
So, since we know we still have a good many years left where the kids will want to use the playground, we decided we better put forth the time and money to redo the leaning posts.  Scott, along with his handyman helper, Ethan, and occasionally Caleb too when he was interested, did a great job!
And here is the more sturdy, and straight finished product.  I am so much more at ease now with it being so much stronger.  Scott replaced all the beams, as well as all the floor boards.  Eventually we would like to pressure wash it and stain it to make it look even nicer.  But that's a job for another weekend, as this revamp took about 2 weekends longer than expected!
