A random summer afternoon in the 'hood in which Jacob gets his swing on for the first time

I'm going on a blogging rampage starting tonight. I have two big posts pending (our visit to the DC zoo and our vacation), and I have all these miscellaneous photos floating around that aren't terribly exciting but that I want to share anyway. First up: Jacob's first swinging adventure during a trip to the playground with his big sister and two of her favorite friends from the neighborhood. (If you're feeling nostalgic, here's a link showcasing pics from Hannah's first trip to the playground.)

He might still be a little young for it, but we plopped him in the swing anyway.

When Hannah was a baby, she shared the swing with her friends (see above link). She's a bit big for that now...

Hopefully his sister and her friends will always want to help out and lend a hand when he needs a little push.

Hannah is far more entertained by this tree on the edge of the playground than she is by the playground equipment. I can get behind that.

And there you have it: one random summer afternoon in Hampden.
