Swinging

I love to swing. Samantha loves to swing so pretty much every night Sam and I head up to the park to swing, even when it's freezing outside...like last night. We bundled up by wearing two pairs of pants, 2 shirts, a hoodie, scarf, gloves and winter coat-we looked like Eskimos! Normally I will wear my flip flops but I actually put on socks and real shoes last night, it was 35 degrees! That picture to the left is from a few weeks ago when it wasn't so cold at night. I look forward to this time every evening. Swinging is so freeing and helps clear my mind. It reminds me of God and how awesome he is. I pray a lot while I'm swinging. Sometimes Sam and I swing in silence and sometimes we are chatting the whole time. I really enjoy conversations with her. We talk about family, God, church, neighbors...just life in general. Last night we spent over 2 hours at the park! After our legs were numb from swinging we moved to the play ground and sat on the slides and chatted for a while. We usually see Spider and Darius while we are out there and I know they think we are crazy! We probably are crazy..who really goes to swing in 30 degree weather? We do! And Sam is just as crazy as I am...and that's one of the reasons why I love her! Swinging isn't just for kids or crazy adults who act like kids! I encourage you to find time to go to the park and swing and I you will see why I love it so much!
