Rope Swing


About a month ago I went through the property with a piece of paper and laid out all of the things I'd like to do to it over the next 30 years! You know, the GRAND PLAN!!! Most of which might never happen, but it's fun to have a plan regardless and dream some!!

There were a few things on there that we have been 'waiting' to do because we weren't sure where or how or even if we should do them!

A rope swing was one of those things that we could do with the materials that we had, it would just take a little work.

Nate's Dad had some rope that we cut a chunk off of.

Nate M. had some wood that he cut round and then cut a hole in it with the scroll saw.

Nate (Dad) had some paint that would blend in with the leaves and tree bark and such.

We also had a tree out back that needed a bit of trimming but was PERFECT for a rope swing.

So, one Sunday afternoon we all went out and put it up (actually we all watched Dad do the work but we felt apart anyways:)






Then, of course, we had to try it out and make sure it worked for everyone!!
