Lance and I were working around the house and in the garage over the weekend. The girls were playing with a piece of chain. I saw them take it and proceeded to quietly watch their minds at work.
Jenna took the chain and went over to the pine tree. I could just see the little gears turning. She put each clevis on a limb of the tree and tried to sit in it. BOOM she ended up on the ground. She had two issues with her first attempt at a tree swing. First, she is only 3 foot tall and was trying to do it herself. Second, she was using a drooping pine tree limb. Nevertheless, I let her keep going to see what else her little mind would create.
That chain kept them occupied for a good 30 minutes, before I stepped in to help them. I asked Jenna if she wanted help and her face lit up! We took the chain over to the magnolia tree and mommy made a swing for the girls with the chain they were using.
The had lots of fun with it. Daddy tried to 1-up mom's chain swing with a 2x4 and rope, but the battery for the saw didn't have enough charge to notch it out.
No worries, the kids have a swing set. It is just located on the other side of the house. Regardless, it is very neat to watch their little minds at work!
