I bet you are "green" with envy seeing this My Bestie having sooo much fun!

Honestly, i was never a fan of tire swings..i thought they hurt my tush and so do the park swings that form around your tush.

I do love the wooden swing my dad put up on the clothes line poles..it was the best when i was growing up.  Later after i grew up and left home, he put up a swing on the tree in the back yard..i took a picture of it and i added below.

Swings are the best i think.  I have a glider now that i enjoy.. gheesh that makes me sound so old! 

Here is this sweet little Besties having the best summer ever on her swing!

  1. These wooden swings are definitely the best! I'm one of those people who would love to have a front porch when I'm older to sit in my rocking chair and watch the world go by! :)
