The Swing, a Slide, a Tunnel, Peek

Holding on, not too sure about the swing yet.

Laura and Charles (10 months) came to visit Grandma in Pittsburgh.

Fortunately I have a playground in the park across the street.

I used the 70-200 lens to document his visit.

Fun to catch him enjoying this playground equipment for the first time. At least the first time I’ve seen him experience a playground. They returned home to Ohio yesterday but I was savoring their visit when I went through the photos tonight.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

Summer Lovin’ weekly theme by Krista. I love summer. School starts back August 19th. Savoring every moment.

A mixture of the farm in Ohio and the beach in St. George Island Florida

Sunrise dogwalk at St. George Island Florida. I don’t know these people but I liked their silhouettes and reflections in the tidal pool.

Kim, Anna, Laura and James laughing with Penny.

Michael and Henry in summer rain. It almost looks as if Michael is riding Henry.

Learning the art of s’more making

Jumping by the corn. Maddie, Laura and Anna.

Mark and Jack and Michael walking into the corn for the experience of it.

Family posing with the stump, well actually the giant log that never was growing out of the ground.

Summer by the ocean.

..the pleasantest thing ever a child can do!

The Swing

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside–

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown–
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
Robert Louis Stevenson

Maura at 5 1/2 finally learns to pump

It wasn’t that long ago (201o) that it was her sister Anna on the blog
