In kindergarten and first grade, my two best friends, Amy and Sheri, and I would run to get the "good swings" first: the ones with shorter chains so we could get higher faster, and the chains were covered in plastic so our fingers wouldn't get pinched. All we would do for recess was swing. I tried jumping off once, like I'd seen the big kids do. I landed on all fours in the woodchips: didn't try it again for a long time! The house where my parents live now, where I lived for over 10 years, has a swing set. My siblings and neighbors and I used to play on it all the time. We had "shoe-kicking contests": while swinging, we'd kick off our shoes and see who could kick the farthest. We didn't usually make it all the way to the house (30 or 40 yards). Sorry for the long comment...this brought back a lot of memories!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455011518336150451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725655139556446270.post-8399968028388271772011-06-16T21:41:04.648-07:002011-06-16T21:41:04.648-07:00My mom just confirmed that we actually did drive o...My mom just confirmed that we actually did drive over 200 miles with the swing set in the back of the pick-up. She says it was actually an old engine-block lift that had been turned into a swing set.Lisa Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07333819819235588413noreply@blogger.com
