Evolution of a Playhouse

We have lived in our house for almost ten years. I remember standing in the backyard when we were looking at the house thinking.....hmmmm......this will make a great corner for a swingset. Finally, the day has come when that playhouse/swingset has become a reality. I may have been slightly neurotic about finding just the right one and getting it to the house on my established timeline but the project is complete and we are still married. We are grateful for friends and family who were willing to put some elbow grease into the project.

How should we position this thing?
It only took two hours to decide.  (I'm not a good decision maker)
