To swing or not to swing?

After moving to NC, we found out quickly that our children needed more of an outlet to burn off energy than just a big backyard. So after much consideration we decided to get them a swingset. We went to Creative Playthings to get a nice wooden swing set that they could enjoy. Since they already had a treehouse, they did not need the fort that comes with most of them. Here is what the yard looked like before.
It took a couple of hours for them to set up the swing set but the yard was quickly transformed. We got the rubber chips for under the swingset so that they have a nice soft place to land when they fall off the swings. Here is what is looked like after they were done.
The wonderful thing about having a swingset in the backyard is that they finally have the motivation to learn how to swing on their own.
