Playset

Bear with me as I channel my inner Children's Book Writer...


This is the story of a playset. We will call him Playset.

Playset is tall and strong. He grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa. He loved his farm home. 

The farm children played and played on him. They climbed his ropes, swung from his swing, and flew down his slide. He housed "Eagle's Nest"  meetings, and an extensive rock collection! 

But over the years there was less and less playing. The farm children grew up and moved away. Playset stayed, standing tall and strong. 


One day Farmer came out to Playset. He looked him up and down. Playset stood as tall as he could, but his feet had gotten a little soggy. Farmer got some tools and started taking Playset apart! 

Playset was worried! 

Then two men, we will call them Grandpa and Daddy, loaded Playset onto a trailer. 

Now Playset was SCARED! 


They took off down the road and across Iowa. They drove a long time. Playset knew he was far from his farm home.

Playset felt sad.


The trailor stopped. Playset was in a new place with lots of houses and very few trees. Grandpa and Daddy, and a lady named Mommy, looked him over. They were smiling and laughing. 

Then Playset saw him...a little BOY!



The men started working on Playset. They fixed his soggy feet. 
Mommy started sanding off years of dirt and gunk. 

Soon he was standing in a backyard! It sure wasn't the farm, but he thought maybe he could like it. 



The men started putting Playset back together. They replaced some rusty bolts, and secured him with these new crazy things called "screws". They flipped some rough boards. They put back his climbing rope, and his rope ladder. They reattached his fireman's pole. And they gave him a brand new slide! 

Playset started to feel better. 


But where was his swing?!?




Grandpa and Daddy cut and drilled. Mommy sanded and sanded. 

Playset started to get excited! 



Finally, his swing was up. And there were even more swings now! 

Playset felt good!


Then Playset saw him again. The little BOY! Playset stood as tall as he could!



Then he felt the little boy's feet on his boards!



He saw the little boy swing!


He heard the little boy squeal with joy! 


This is the story of a playset. We will call him Playset.

Playset is tall and strong. He grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa. He loved his farm home. But now he has a new home, with a new little boy.

Playset is very, very happy :) 




Best seller for sure :)
