THE swing

this is it. THE swing. best swing in the world.. you can run and jump, swinging out over a drop-off. it is REALLY fun. before you try it, i must warn you:

BEWARE OF THE ROOT

the running, jumping, flying through the air, attempting air tricks, etc = all fun. there is a root of one of the trees, however, that is out to get everyone. therefore, the landing is important. we crashed A LOT, ended up bruised and bleeding with strawberries on our shoulders (but of course we kept going because we couldn't get enough). no one could really move the next day- abs sore from laughing and bodies sore from the attack of the root and the fact that we didn't stop until it was dark..

i give up on explaining more about the greatness of this swing. i will just ramble and can't do it justice. we took hundreds of pictures (no exaggeration) of the swing but here are some of my favorites of us actually in the air.
