Isn’t playing outside so much fun? I have fond memories of playing at the park or my own backyard when I was a kid. My kids all sure love it too. I love the wonder and excitement on their faces when they are pushed on the swings, ride their bikes or even just play in the dirt. And while I’m sure they are happy to play whether I’m there or not, I’m glad they let me tag along on the adventure sometimes. 🙂
Higher and higher I like to swing –
Higher and higher still,
Till my little nose touches the sun
And my feet, the clouds do feel.
Then when I’m done swinging so high,
Up in the air so high,
I climb to the top of the big plastic slide
Where the way down feels like I can fly.
Then off to the dirt I like to race,
Where I drive my trucks on the ground,
In the dirt around and around
Till I find treasure that’s never been found.
The treasure then goes to my beautiful mother,
Who guards it with all of her love,
I eat a quick snack then race off again
To swing with the clouds above.
Before too long, it’s time to go in
But I had so much fun while I played.
In all the time I spent outside
Never, not once would I trade.
