Trampoline, playground or swing set?
Our kids love to play outside, and we love to shoo them out there pretty much all summer. Our gates are padlocked and we live in a safe neighbourhood, but if I’m inside I still leave the patio door open and run out as soon as I hear 30 seconds of quiet. They have given me good reason to be paranoid!
Right now they have a preschooler sized mini-playground and a mini-ish Dora trampoline that they’ve almost outgrown. We spent about $300-400 on each of those, and I’m not real keen on spending $1000 each on a new playground and trampoline. We’ve also been looking at a swing set as an option. Hmmmmm. So much to thing about!
Do you have play equipment in your back yard? What’s your opinion?

We have a treehouse, a homemade swing on a tree and a tiny-ish climber. I would love to get a trampoline, but chances are slim we will. The kids love the treehouse, but will use it more as they get bigger I think.
Oh we have a sandbox too that is a HUGE hit. We have all sorts of things for it, trucks, dinosaurs, buckets … in the summer they add water and it is even more dynamic.

We have that swing set. Not the greatest. The slide cracked and the thing squeeks like crazy when the kids are on the tetter totter swing thing, but it does the trick in our small backyard
