Rekindled Love: Swings.

About two months ago, I rekindled a former love of mine, trampolines.

Well, this week has made me bond with one of my other old friends:

Swings.

I've always loved swings. In fact going to Porter Park in Rexburg and swinging on the swings is one of my favorite activities (and one of the reasons that I should continue living SO close to Porter).

Back in the day, I would swing standing up on the little kid swings. That was one of the tricks that Katie and I had.

Nothing is more fun and exciting that a good swing sesh.

(Which is why it makes me so sad when parks don't have swing sets/the take them down because of the 'danger'.)

Anywho, on Thursday, I had to hang out at the park with 4 year old twins because my mom stole their mom for official RS business. Anyway, they're old enough to play at the park by themselves without having someone following them around. I just needed to watch them. So I sat on the swings, and swung, while watching them. And it was perfect because the swingset was right in the middle of the playground so I could always see them.

And then I pushed them both for about half an hour. And my arms got pretty tired. haha

Then today, I was babysitting three little ninas and they have a wooden swing on their tree. And I swung on that while the children were riding bikes/jumping on the trampoline. And it was a beautiful day today so I was in the shade of the tree, enjoying a nice little breeze from the swing all while seeing three adorable girls playing in the sunshine.

Good day.

And I want to go swinging again.

(During both of these expeditions, I wanted to take some pictures but all I had was my phone. And I've been a little gentler with it recently because of it's injury. And I don't really think that the giant cracks and sand would've gone all that well together. So, thanks Google!)
