In our house, anything can become a learning experience. When Sarah wanted to build some playground equipment for spot, it was not as easy as she first thought.She started with the merry-go-round. She had to rebuild the base, so it would not fall over.
Then the plastic lid that had cut a hole into, bended too much, and would not allow spot to spin.
After much thought, she decided that metal was her only option, as building supports for the lid did not work. One old camping plate, and a drill, and we have a working Merry-go-round.
Next came the swing. Again, it wasn't as easy as she first thought. First the swing looked good, but just hit the ground, until she shortened the supports.
Then it would fall over backwards. or forwards, depending on where the swing was.
Then she showed us all her problem. Quick as lightening, Courtney suggested putting the swing in the middle.
After much debate, and taking it apart many times, she finally completed a working swing for spot.
Look out... we might have an engineer on our hands in the future.

HUGS to you all! I miss you, Tracy.
That's awesome :) Nice to hear about the teamwork too. Least you can look forward to Sarah making you two some types of devices to keep you mobile as you age perhaps :)
