John Paul Jones relaxing at home with the family circa 1970.
Our family had the EXACT same swing set at my childhood home!
Me too, the one with the legs that randomly come out of the ground when you start swinging higher!
Unless Daddy knew how to dig 4 holes and set each leg in concrete.Me too, the one with the legs that randomly come out of the ground when you start swinging higher!
Didn't EVERYONE in the United States have one of these in the back yard between 1960 and 1975?
Not my family. My dad used to tell us to go my school (which was 3 blocks away) if we wanted to swing.
Regarding the cemented legs. It's funny you should mention that. I only knew one family that actually did that. Only because mommy got on daddy about it. Other dads didn't want it permanently moored because it would be inconvenient when mowing the grass. Plus 1960-1975 was the age where parents just told their kids to be careful when doing things. Heck, getting that swing set to lift off its legs was great fun!
We had great contests.Can't remember how high exactly.Yep, how far can you get them to come up.
But we had some foresight. We'd always set up a safety man.
