We went to the park after lunch today.

Jake gave Ruthie a push on the swing to get her started.

Then everyone else hopped on a swing and began motoring

and motoring.

And while the boys were laughing

and flying

and talking back and forth,

Ruthie sat on her swing, clutching the chains, observing it all.

Content to be still.

The best part of our after-lunch recess? Seeing the pure joy on their faces. I love that feeling.
