Hammock Fun

One of the things that we Stringhams love to do when the weather gets a little nicer, is to hang out outside - either sitting on the porch or on the lawn, or maybe favorite of all, is to relax in a hammock. The past several nice days, Shawn has set up what the kids refer to as our "outside living room": one nice big hammock that can hold 2 or 3 or 4 of us, plus two hammock chairs. We literally spend hours out there. (Anytime Jonas can find the time, he hangs up the hammock and sits outside to read. I don't blame him - that's got to be one of the best ways in the world to pass the time.)

Peter and Amelia

Peter absolutely loves swinging in the chairs. He giggles until he can hardly breathe.

Peter and Samantha

He took turns swinging with just about everyone.

Shawn and Jonas

You have to look closely to see Peter hanging out on Shawn's legs in this one.

Amelia and Samantha trying to time their swings so as to either crash or not crash. It was hard to tell which. Either way, they were having fun. And any activity we can find that everyone enjoys, is a good one.
