Fort Middlebrooks


We left the swing set at our old house promising the kids we would get something new for the new house. The first weekend we got them a trampoline....which they love but still wanted a playset. Dax and I have been searching for something that would be just perfect for our large crew and friends. The BIG problem is that everything was way too expensive and not just right! We decided to design & build our own. Dax researched online and came up with a good plan. My brother gave us a ton of srap fence board and we purchased the rest. We were fortunate to buy a used 10ft slide for $40 which is regularly $340....YEAH. Anyway, we are still waiting on the bars we purchased online to build the monkey bars.
De & I made the ladder!





The pulley is a BIG hit!


Here are some of our homemade signs!











We have had so much fun working on this project as a family. Dax did the main bulk of work but he had tons of help......both of our nephews & our kids! Delaney worked the 2nd hardest! She was always out there with Dax, never left his side!
