first time swinging in a REAL swing!

this past wednesday, we drove to washington to attend a 30th birthday party of one of my friends. the party was at haven's gardens, which is a public park and boat ramp adjacent to the pamlico sound. the party was great, we ate lots of yummy food, i got to visit with old friends, and kendal got ooohed and aaahed over (as usual). he also got to kiss (and got a kiss from) his first little girl (samantha). he tried to eat her, she tried to kiss him. (she is, eh, 18 months old? - and absolutely beautiful. always has been, too. he's played with her before...) it was really windy that day (not that we minded, because it was also 101 degrees - even in washington). before we left, we put him in one of the swings. he LOVED it.
