Finally got one!
For weeks and weeks I've been trying to decide what to get for Emma to play on in the back yard. She loves to be outside but I really wanted to have a focal point so I wasn't chasing her everywhere all the time. M. saw this at Walmart last week, but we were uncertain if they'd have it in stock when we drove over. On his weekly shopping trip he decided to check, just in case it would fit in the truck with the groceries. It did fit. When he got home he said it was buried in the front of the truck and he'd have to get it out later tonight.

That lasted all of three minutes. He changed his mind and decided he wanted to set it up for Emma before she went to bed. Of course we had difficulty getting it together, meanwhile Emma knows it's for her and it's gonna be fun and she's crying at us for taking so long. I ended up carrying her inside while M. fitted the slide onto it. Finally, it was ready for playtime!
