pump...

remember the days of playing on your swingset from sun up until sun down??? when it just wasn't a good day until you had blisters on your hands from the monkey bars, or a nice 1st degree burn on your hiney and your legs from sliding down the scorching hot metal slide? well, now my girls get to experience this joy... except for the 1st degree burns part (their slide is plastic, technology is amazing ain't it?) the sparkle that was in my daughters eyes when she saw a "playground" being built in her backyard was that of pure joy. it was the same look that i had in my eyes when i was her age....and the same sparkle i had in my eyes when i tried to teach her how to "pump".
