We've had the playfort for 4 summers and I can vouch that we got our money's worth out of it. We are outside virtually everyday on the swings, climbing the rock wall and sliding down the slide. But sadly, as our boys and girls have grown the playfort has been used and abused.
We've tightened it for the last time today :o( We've discussed replacing boards and such but we would essentially be replacing every board. So, our plan is to chop it off at the knees so to speak and keep the fort part to be used on ground level as a fort still. The boys are too big for the playhouse, ha ha.
And as a replacement? Well, we'll have the Little Tikes set coming back in the next month or so...and then Aaron's thinking of one of these:
Something inflatable that wouldn't have to be such a permanent fixture in our backyard. Aaron likes the rock climbing wall idea and I like anything with a safety net all around it.
Let's face it, we like to entertain and that climber takes up alllllllot of space. It was fantastic and I'll definitely miss having picnic lunches up top with the kids. Alex will miss the swings the most and JT who can finally do the monkey bars will miss practising in the mornings before school.

I wonder how many play hours all that equates to?
and you will also be getting the race car bed as well...i think between our van and Dads new truck (hint hint) we should be able to bring them over on the afternoon/evening of our grown-up night out. or we might make 2 trips before or after then.
