whales like swings, too

A week or so ago, my brothers and I decided to head to the park down the street. We have a swingset in our backyard, but the park has the good swings. I realized that the new baby whales, Dottie, Jane, Wilbur, & Windy might like to come along. They certainly did enjoy themselves…

First, they headed for the slide… having never been down one before, they weren’t sure how they’d like it. They looked cute up there, though!

Wilbur was the first to try, since he is the most daring of the bunch. Since he enjoys thrilling things and dreams of being a pilot, he loved the slide.

They also enjoyed climbing up the fun-shaped ladder:

And of course, they couldn’t miss my favorite.. the swings!

This was a lot of excitement for such little whales, and the y got very tired. They stopped at the bottom of the slide to rest for awhile while I was still on the swings, then they hopped back into my tote and I carried them home. Lucky they didn’t have to swim! :D

Dottie, Jane, Wilbur, & Windy are brand new and for sale over at Fluffyland. Each has a special story and personality, and they have different fabrics on their tummies!

i’m in awe of her writing… that’s all i’ll say for now.
i loved it though. spectacular.
no spoilers here because i am not a mean person, hopefully not even close to being one.

floating on air

I love swings. They are fun, exciting, exhilarating; they might be considered a childish plaything but anyone can enjoy them. Especially me. ;) It’s the closest thing I’ve found to really flying, with the wind whooshing by and the weightlessness at the top… I just love it all.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon/evening with one of my best friends, Grace. She’ll be heading off to college all too soon, so I had to give her a few things: a handmade Tinkerbell-print skirt, matching socks, a mix cd, and a little charm. We decided to get ice cream and then head over to the park, where we had lots and lots of fun eating ice cream, chatting, and of course swinging. Grace is a great photographer; she took a photography class last year and everything. I wanted a few swinging pictures, so…
