Gotta love the grandparents!

I mentioned the other day that I wanted to get a swing set for our backyard. We had one when the babes were younger but then it sat unused for a few years so we ended up giving it away.
Now that our Bubba is getting older, I thought it’d be good to get one for her to play on. I was going to layby one for Christmas for her but my dad and stepmum found one in great condition at a garage sale (yard sale) and brought it over yesterday - complete with a baby swing so she can use it now!
But wait there’s more!
Dad called today to ask if I wanted a slippery slide that attaches to the swing set. Hell yeah! LOL He bought it at another garage sale. So he’ll be dropping that off tomorrow when they come to visit.

Aww cool, DP’s parents did the same thing for christmas as the kids are old enough to use one now, they also attached a baby swing so Owen could join the bigger kids

That is wonderful.
My parents have been known to do things like that.

That’s cool! I love it when Grandparents can do those kinds of things.
But, I had to laugh when I read that your Bubba was getting older and that SHE would enjoy a swing… where I come from (down South in the USA) ‘Bubba’ was usually a term used by ‘redneck’ families for one or more of the brothers in the family, usually the one who wasn’t too bright… Then I totally remembered my Aussie friends from seminary saying, “Bub” or “bubba” for their little wee ones. It took me a second to get my culture’s straight! LOL!
