I took these pictures back in early May so that's why the long sleeves and pants. They can turn it around like a merry go round, or play on it as a teeter totter, or spin and go up and down at the same time!
After I slide the board off, the tire can be tipped on end and rolled to where you want to move it.
This piece is "so my Dad". Pieces of iron welded together to make what he needed or wanted. I have a welder...just haven't been able to get at it to learn to use it...someday!
This is our last week of summer break and then back to school with my little 6 year old heading into kindergarten!! So many mixed emotions with that!
Have a great week!
Seriously... I was thinking about packing my bags and coming to your house if the beautiful girls were able to wear long sleeves right now. ;-D
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS SO COOL!!! If I come visit think they will let me play on it too?
Just remember how much she's going to miss you when she starts school....

That looks like so much fun and then I began to think of my vertigo and thought NO way woman...it would not be pretty to watch!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the recipe for freezing childhood is? They just "grow and go" so fast....
My dad made us our own skateboards- always inventive guy that he was. Problem was they did not swivel, you had to just aim downhill and pray...

ReplyDeleteTo think of the countless hours that all of your kids enjoyed on that teeter totter! What a great job your dad did.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that school is almost starting again. We're taking my son back to college on Sunday....where did the summer go?

Such a sweet post...I have many memories of playing myself sick on teeter totters like that! So bittersweet when a child heads off to kindergarten!
