Find of the year...

We have been looking for a play set for Tyler to play with for a while now. We started looking in the summer, but everything was too expensive for us to buy. We saw this cute Clubhouse set at Sam's Club for $500. That was just too much money to justify spending on a play set. So we have been checking KSL.com in their classified section to see if we could buy a used play set. It seemed like every time something perfect for Tyler would come along, someone else would buy it first. So we decided to go to Sam's Club two days before Christmas to see if any of their toys were on sale yet. We didn't really find any toys, but we found this Clubhouse set for $225. It sales for $600 online. We couldn't pass up that kind of deal. So we bought it and then Tony borrowed his parents truck and took it home.
We decided to only set up the right third of the play set, with the slide, in our computer room and then put the green climber in the opening. Tyler LOVES it. He is having so much fun with it, I just can't wait until summer to set the whole thing up outside. That will be a fun day at the Steenblik house. So it pays to wait. It says that it is for 2 - 8 years of age, so it will last our family a long time before we then need to upgrade to something bigger (well knowing Tyler it will probably only be a couple years before he is needing something larger). We also went back to Sam's Club a couple days after Christmas and got a tricycle for like $20 off. Most the time we aren't huge Sam's Club fans, but sometimes it is the best. Oh yeah, Happy New Years!
