Christmas Present from Nani and Papa!

Nani and Papa out did themselves this year! 

This Christmas Nani and Papa got the kids a climbing dome for the backyard.  It did not get here by the time we did our Christmas with them but we did get it Christmas Eve and we put it together after we got back from our Anniversary Trip.  The kids did a great job helping Daddy put it together and I being the family historian made sure to document it step by step. ;) 
Supplies 
Nuts and Bolts Boy
Laying out the ground level. Making sure all the parts are there. 
So this structure is 15 feet wide and will end up at 8 feet high when fully assembled. 
The kids got tired of helping (no surprise) and decided to cloud watch.  
Wiggles playing with the parts while Daddy assembles.She's pretending to ride a horse. 
If I could write their reactions I would but not sure how to spell the sounds they uttered. They were so excited and couldn't wait for Daddy to finish. 
Nuts and Bolts Girl helping Daddy tighten them down.  I helped too when it got too tall for the kids. 
YES!! Time to play above no fear Wiggles trying to climb to the top. Below a bit fearful Monkey.
And then their was Daddy, who had to out do the two kids.  Now for some of you who don't know this is all made out of PVC pipe.  There is no metal, which means they should still be able to play with it when it's hot out and no rusting!
 The final picture is 15 feet by 6 feet tall. We will add the extra two feet when the kids are older and more comfortable on it.  So far we've had a few friends over to play on it and all have enjoyed. Thanks Nani and Papa!!!
