By large, I mean that this item wasn't in a box, but on a pallet. And by heavy, I mean that I couldn't lift it myself because it weighed over 700 pounds.
Needless to say, the package did not fit in our mailbox.
It took the delivery truck driver and one of my neighbors half an hour to unload it and move it into our garage. Any guesses about what's in it? (The wavy green slide might be a giveaway.)
Yep, it's a playground. A sturdy one. Here it is a couple weeks later, after my husband unpacked it and took an inventory of the (several hundred) parts and pieces. C.R.'s really handy little brother helped him assemble the thing.
My critical contribution was iced mocha lattes and sloppy joes.
C.R. and I are budget-conscious nerds, so this playground was a (cash) splurge for us. So far, I think it's one of the best purchases we've ever made. My kids love the playground. We've already spent many hours playing on it as a family.
Check out these happy faces!
