We’ve got the start of a custom swing set up in our backyard, and the swing is the first place Miss Esmé heads whenever we go out. With Grandpa and Grandma here last week, she got the hang of the whole pumping action.
Which is really great, because after a had fall last year from an abrupt push, she’s been scared to death of getting on a swing. And now that she’s in control of the swing herself, she’s thoroughly enjoying it. Not going very high, but enjoying it.
Speaking of swings, CSN’s Swingsets And More site has tons of swing sets and table sets and other outdoor play equipment for you to pick from:
They also have the components for a custom play set if you’re making your own, like we are.
AND – CSN is sponsoring a giveaway! To enter to win a US $75 promotional code for use on any of CSN’s 200+ stores:
- Comment on the giveaway post telling what you/your kids’ favorite backyard activity is.
- If you are a follower or subscriber, leave a second comment for a second entry.
Open to US and Canadian readers only. Winner will randomly be picked after Sunday, February 20th.

My son likes to play baseball.
Our favorite backyard activity varies with the weather. When snow is on the slide, that is the most popular (and snowmen).
Fair weather brings out the bats and balls. Both of my kids love to play!

Being boys, they love hanging out by the creek and trying to catch (and release!) crawdads and frogs. They also love swinging from the willow branches. I've been thinking a zip line would be a really cool thing to install, and it looks like a pretty affordable (under $100) option!
Thanks so much for the chance to win this!
