Photos: A Really Cool Swing Set
January 6, 2010
A North Escambia family had one of the coolest swing sets around thanks to our winter weather. An overnight temperature in the upper teens and a sprinkler left on all night created this wintry scene with huge icicles Tuesday morning. Pictured below: Hunter Kinnard climbs a very frozen rope ladder. Submitted photos by Kristi Smith for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.

Super, this never happens in Australia. It recalls me the ice sculpture once I saw in Harbin of china. It is great.
My Dad also used to put a sprinkler out in a tree for us….(I don’t know how we lived to tell about some of those fights we had with the ice)…but that is why I love doing it for our children also…glad we could bring back some good memories for some of you…..and if you have never tried this then you really should….the kids love it so much.
This is very cool. I remember when i was little my dad would leave a sprinkler in a tree in our front yard over night and we would have huge icicles in the morning. Its fun to know other people do the same thing.
I remember growing up we had a popcorn tree, my dad would put the sprinkler way up in it if there was a hard freeze. That was the coolest thing ever!
Love the firetruck / house… very cool!
Thank You for all of your comments…my husband built the fire truck for our 9 year old and the swingset with the firehouse/parking space for both of our boys. And yes we set the sprinkler up when they said it was going to freeze. The kids just love it even our two year old.
Thank you for sharing these pictures. That little fire station is so cute. And, that young man is so handsome. What a beautiful smile.
Of course they sprayed it…..But that looks Cool as ever…..I wanted to do something like that But my husband said no cause it will b wasteing water…..Even thoe we had to RUN the water ALL night to keep it from freezeing go figure lol.lol.lol. GOOD JOB playing with mother nature love it……
This is really cool, but you had to have sprayed the water on it becuase there is no way it will just do that, but like I siad it is AWSOME…..
Cool pictures Kristi!! My kids want a swing set like now! And the fire truck is just too cool. Just sayin.
I hate this cold weather, but I have to say that those are some pretty awesome photos; being a photographer myself…
Awesome pictures Kristi.
