A tire swing built for two

We've had some rainy and cooler weather this week, thanks to Hurricane Alex. One morning, the natives were restless, so we headed out to one of our favorite playgrounds almost immediately after breakfast. We got to spend almost 2 hours at the park, and no one even broke a sweat! ;-)

The kids did the usual -- exploring, climbing trees, watching deer, running on the trail -- and then we went back to the playground to play.














Oliver and Buttercup both really liked climbing on this play structure. Oliver has almost figured out how to loop his leg over the top and climb down on the other side!




































Buttercup can climb up to the top almost as quickly as Oliver can, but then she loses her nerve and screeches for me to take her down. :-)



















The rest of the playground is pretty fun, but without a doubt, their favorite part is this tire swing. Buttercup ran over to it, looked back at Oliver, and said, "Ah-ver? Swing, please?" So sweet!!
