The Contraption

That's the only name we can think to name it.  Apparently my grandfather made this when my dad and his siblings were younger.  It ended up in my dad's front yard a year ago.  It may not be the prettiest thing but the kids sure have enjoyed it.

Our friends no I mean family, The Hess' were here earlier this month and when they come around it is always a lot of fun.  It didn't take the kids long to figure out how to work it.  However, it does help when someone (Kirk) is willing to push you on it. 

Oh, and did I mention that you have to stop quite often to fix it????
