When we moved, we left behind the very strong, good quality swing set that Riley got for her 3rd birthday. The girls were so upset, so for Reagan's 4th birthday she got..... yep you guessed it.... a swing set.
All of her grandparents pitched in a bought the one Darren and I picked out. We thought it would be comparable to the one we left in Georgia with a few more upgrades. Um, not so much.... live and learn!!!
About 6 months ago we noticed it wasn't as strong as we would like for it to be in the middle, so we told Riley she could only use the outside swing. About 2 weeks ago Riley was swinging and the outside arm couldn't stand up to the pressure..... Riley only weights 65 pounds.... well within the 150 pound weight limit. We will never buy another swing set from Walmart.

Wow, good thing it didn't collapse while they were on it! Am I old enough to say "They just don't make 'em like they used to!"?
Take care!
oh no, that stinks!!!
what a great post, i love the pics of your girls, they are so cute trying to be fierce - reagan in the life jacket is too much, she looks like g.i. jane meets a jet ski!
guess what, we had the EXACT same playset from Wal-mart. thankfully, the fallen oak tree crushed it because it really was a piece of crap - it's now been replaced with one i can swing on-! (thanks to the insurance co.)
love you guys so much!!
