The lighting and weather have been beautiful.
The summer of 2016 we went to a family reunion at our ancestral farm in PA. They had a fantastic rope swing there. For Christmas in 2016, I bought 2 rope swings to be put up in one of the hundred or so trees on our property. We have been talking about it for years. Most of the trees in the back forest have only very high branches and a lot of trees near by. I finally just decided that the kids are old enough to handle playing on the swings in the front yard. Hopefully, the front property fence will be done soon, but the kids have been climbing and playing on the maple tree regardless, so why wait. I also bought some special straps to protect the tree. Grandpa J helped us finally put up those rope swings.
I think they like them! Now when we are looking for the kids they are usually either swinging or playing in the sand pit.
Only trouble with the rope swings is that there are only two -- a good lesson in patience and sharing.
They realized that they can make a pile with the leaves and hop off the swing into the pile.
