I'm a Backyard Discovery Brand Ambassador!

A couple of months ago, Backyard Discovery contacted me and asked me to be a Backyard Discovery Brand Ambassador. What that meant, essentially, is that we would receive a Backyard Discovery Playset of our very own to try out and write about.

What you need to know about our family is that we have always, always wanted a playset and never, ever thought we'd have one.

*cue angels singing*

Behold the playset we received. Is it not AWESOME?!

It is called the Atlantis, it retails for $749, and it's available at the Backyard Discovery site and at Walmart (for just $599!). It includes a glider swing, two belt swings, a clubhouse, a slide, a ladder, a rock climbing wall, and a lower area for a shop/puppet theater/sandbox (we used pea gravel instead of sand for better drainage, and my son LOVES playing in the tiny pebbles with his trucks. And no sand all over him at the end of playing time! WOOT.).

Those are the specifics. But I think the pictures I've taken of the neighborhood kids playing on our new playset say a lot more about it than I ever could. Take a look...

One of my favorite things about this particular playset is that it's suitable for my 3-year-old son and four and two-year-old neighbors...

Yet my six-year-old daughter and our ten-year-old neighbor really enjoy playing on it as well. The glider is by far the most popular feature on our playset. The kids LOVE it.

The slide gets a lot of play as well.

The kids are still discovering other aspects of the playset. They are starting to learn to swing on their own (yay!) and both of them have begun braving the rock climbing wall- It took a few weeks for them to work up to that!

The playset, coupled with our Ariel sprinkler has made our backyard the most popular on the street! And with nine kids ten and under on our tiny street, that's no small feat!

Backyard Discovery has lots of different playset options that meet all kinds of family sizes, yard sizes, and budget sizes. You can look them all over here.

Stay tuned for more blogging (and vlogging!) about our Backyard Discovery experience- Thanks to our new playset, the kids have been spending more time outside than ever before, and that's just how I like it!

Disclosure: I received a Backyard Discovery playset and a party pack in exchange for acting as a brand ambassador and writing posts about our playset experience. As always, my opinions are 100% my own.
