Swings

Toben hung the swings the other day and it just makes the yard seem complete. The girls made these swings with their Papa a few years ago and still spend hours back and forth-ing and spinning in circles.

 

I love to swing just as much as they do. The branches these are hung on aren't quite strong enough for me to do much more than sit on them. But I run past the neighborhood school every morning and often stop to swing at the playground a while.

 

There's nothing quite like a perfect flying dismount to start your day. (The key is to bend your knees and really stick the landing. And, yes, you have to put your arms in the air like an Olympic gymnast if you want the highest score possible!)

Very cute - the swings and the image :)

I'm jealous that you swing....you would think that being a teacher I would go out on the playground every so often and swing....but alas, I get "seasick" swinging and don't do it anymore.

I am sure the girls love them dearly! Those kids will love seeing you in the am when school starts up:)

I'm glad to read you're all comfortably settled now.
These photos are very touching, really sweet... and I have to say I'm the one who occasionally swings too :)
