Ah! The Swings!

My children LOVE the swings...LOVE!  It has been so hot here this summer (over 100 degrees almost every day for the past 3 weeks) that we have not had much time outside...even in the pool.  The other day we met some friends at the library and it happened to be overcast and 90 degrees.  We thought it felt awesome so we left the indoors and headed for a nearby park.  Cole was in heaven to be outside with his buddies (they played hide and seek and dug for buried treasure for the longest time---oh my, I remember when they were all born and now they are sooooo big!) and Lily was in heaven swinging.  She was too little to swing at the park in the spring so this was really her first experience with it.  The amount of laughing and squealing she did was amazing and so contagious!  I could not stop laughing with her.  She was loving it!  And so was Cole...he has swings at home but hadn't used them in so long I think he forgot how much fun it is.  It was a blessing....good friends and a little break in the heat.  Even if it was just for one day it was awesome!
