The Swing

How do you like to go up in a swing?
Up in the air so blue

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside-
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown,
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

so fun! Tristan loves to swing, too. Probably one of his favorite activities.

I am so bad....

My boys love to swing; and most days, I indulge them, and push them all at once. For, like, hours.

All lined up in a row, here we go! Push Colin, move down, Push Cameron, move down, Push Ethan, move back, and repeat...ad nauseum.

Last time we went, I actually said, "No swings today boys...just PLAY. Mommy is tired."

I am so bad. You are a much better mommy for pushing them all! :)

So simple! And yet so much fun.

Oddly, it's warm enough to swing here too. Even though we put the swings away for the season, we took out the bikes to ride today.

Thinking a lot about your whole family.

So cute! And I love the swing with the blanket--we've used that technology a few times ourselves!

Blessings!
