My parents got Keith a Handy Dad book so as soon as we got home from Mandeville Keith was ready to build something. The rope swing did not look that hard and they only thing we needed to buy was the nylon rope since we had the hose and board.
The scary part for me was how the book told him to hang the rope.... which is to climb the tree. I was getting really nervous about now and had a talk with Grady about going to get the phone inside if I told him to. Can you find Keith in the tree?
going higher...
tying the knot
then he had to go to lower branch to saw off a branch. This part took the longest.
We all had to try it out.
It is a lot of fun.
Reece did a really good job holding on.
Grady LOVES it. He woke up the next morning ready to go outside and swing.

That sounds like a cool book! I love the picture of the ladder and the tree. The ladder didn't help much did it?? :) Glad no one got hurt. It looks like fun!
OH MY GOSH HE WAS SO HIGH!!!! It made me nervous....and I'm like six states away a couple of weeks later!
The swing looks AWESOME though! You guys have the best yard of all time! =)
Haha the ladder only helped him get started.
Liz I was having all kind of horrible thought go though my mind, Like please don't break something then ... well at least he has life insurance. I am glad he is down and safe.
