This summer we are trying to get some play equipment set up for the girls. Until the big swingset and slide go in, we wanted to put in a tree swing. Unfortunately, most of our trees, since they were in the woods until recently, have vertical branches. We finally found one on the outskirts of our cleared land with 2 horizontal branches.
We made several attempts to get a rope over the tree branch, including one where I am in the tractor scoop, as far up as it can go, with my legs shaking so badly that I can hardly stand, let alone toss a rope another 20 feet up and over a branch. Finally JP let me down to stand on solid ground, and he was able to throw a giant bolt tied to twine over the branch, and haul up the rope that way. Then we were able to attach this swing, which the girls have named "Liberty".
They both enjoy riding her a lot!

E,B and W thought Liberty was a lot of fun to ride as well. She is a fine stead.
