Summer Day Swing

Sean caught these pictures of Brooklyn on our tree swing. Dontcha just love a leisurely summer day?

Okay, Brooklyn doesn't. These three minutes on the swing were the only minutes she wasn't complaining about being insanely bored. What I wouldn't give for a day with nothing to do, no worries, and nothing but blank space.

Isn't it so unfair? They are forced to play all day long, encouraged to go outside and enjoy themselves, don't have to worry about getting the laundry done or dinner on the table, and when they get grumpy, somebody makes them go lie down in a nice cool room in a comfy bed for a nap.

Something tells me, that after a year of school, Brooklyn might just see the pleasure in a day with nowhere to be and nothing to do. At least for the first two weeks. Do you remember how looooong summers were when you were a kid? We're already halfway through our summer here. A month from now is registration for kindergarten and two weeks after that, school will start. Yikes!

Better enjoy that swing and all your free time, Brooklyn!
