Monkey Girl

Question: What can you build with scrap lumber, a steel bar and some screws?




Answer: A monkey bar for Lilly!

Don't worry, we took the couch cushion off and use them as mats while Lilly flips, swings and squeals with delight on her new Daddy made (mommy approved) monkey bar!

Mike also made sure to make the monkey bar height adjustable and very simple to adjust. It's so much fun and even sturdy enough for me to hang on, Mike's tried it out too :) You know in high school one of Mike's nicknames was 'Monkey Boy' :) I guess Lilly has inherited the name.
It also makes an awesome base for a blanket fort, oh and Bryn really thought it was fun too :)
