Lots of back-and-forth discussions between everyone about kid-safety which of course is everyone's principle concern. The little ones are pretty young and thus unlearned in the ways of paying attention and cautiousness.
After all was said and done about safety we think (we hope) we've just about covered all the possibilities against any kind of potential accident.
I might add that Barbara here is the chief architect in the project. She is a fine wood-worker with her own well-equipped woodshop in their basement area.
Of course all of us adults (using the term loosely) had a go at going down the slide.
For a some of us it was a really tight squeeze sliding down (heheh, I won't mention names for fear of retribution). Also, we old turkeys tended to light on our butts, unlike grandkids Hailey and Leah who would zoom down and light on their feet, then run back to the ladder and do it again.. and again.
Below is Irma. This lady is a delight to be around. She is funny and kind and finds great joy in doing such things as sliding down a kid's slide.
Irma and I created the below video of her coming down the slide to send to Irma's daughter who lives somewhere not around here. (ok, I forgot where.. florida maybe.) But it was such fun that I decided to post it here as well.
"How long has it been since you've done this?"
"Never I think!.. ..oh except this morning"
