When Malia and Sasha Obama came home from school Wednesday, there was a surprise waiting for them: a swing set from their folks, the Chicago Tribune reports. The excited girls played on the set, complete with four swings, a fort, and a picnic table with the names of all the presidents, for nearly an hour. The set normally goes for $3,500, though what the Obamas paid wasn’t released.
