The newest additions to our backyard-two tire swings!! We went to our Sunday School class social and Pastor Chris and Becky have one in the woods across the road from their house. So, that became the focus of Silas' world--we MUST have a tire swing for our yard! So, PaPaw hooked us up with two old tires (from somewhere) and we promptly (with the insistence of one single-minded almost 8 year old)hung the things. We spent 30 minutes throwing a hammer with rope attached to it up in the tree praying it would loop over the branch we had picked out. Silas said "How much longer it is gonna take y'all???" Good question. We took turns hiking that hammer heavenward until we thought our arms would fall off. Finally, VICTORY! Scott did it!
The second one was easier, I was able to reach that limb with a ladder. The tieing process wasn't so successful, and a young man that works with me at Food Lion fixed it properly when he came over to pour concrete under our screened-in porch. He said he couldn't stand it, it was just too awful for our boys to swing on a crooked swing!Here's to summer and lots of fun in our backyard!
