| Walking back to the cabin on a balmy October afternoon |
When we rigged up this makeshift swing I did have an image of it being included in one of those hilarious best parenting of 2011 chain emails. You know the ones I'm referring to: kid pushing a cart of beer, dad holding a kid upside down to feed a bear, lady riding on the back of motobike with baby strapped to her. There are usually an equal number of really awful ideas and ideas that I wish I would have thought of doing. Anyway, this contraption did not swing. It made a nicely soothing squeak as the two by four tried to rub through the kayak straps, but, alas, there was no excitement and eventually Bear just whined her way out. No nap for her.

After I tired of retrieving Bear from the far reaches of the dooryard (i.e. out of sight) and Lucky dog, we decided to try a change in scenery and give up the woodpile reduction project for a while. It probably helped that I had filled the trailer with wood (after dozens of wheelbarrow trips) and then couldn't drive the 4-wheeler to unload. (Who ever heard of an emergency break on a 4-wheeler??) We needed some advice from papa and a respite from chasing a tired and clumsy girl.
