A Big Swing Set Under a Bigger Cottonwood Tree

During our trip to Nebraska last weekend we had lunch with our an immediate family out at the local park in the little town where Charity was born.   It was a great park with lush grass, nice equipment and plenty of room to frolic.   We had the run of the place so, despite being over 30, I thoroughly enjoyed the winding slide (up and down of course).  I also enjoyed balancing competitions with my young brother and sister in-law up and down various pieces of equipment.  I think they’ve come to respect yoga a little more :-)

The highlight of the park had to be this giant swing set built under this truly massive cottonwood tree.

Here’s a closer shot of swing with me caught on camera clearly enjoying myself.   The whole structure swayed a bit with Jacob and me on it so we took it easy but it was still a delight to be on something so big, fun and original.
