Do you remember recess at school? Do you remember the swings? I do, and I remember how I used to pump those
swings as high as I could go. Amish kids
are just like that, too. But here is a
pair of girls who have figured out a better angle on pumping a swing - one girl
on each side, taking turns to pump from a standing position. I saw several pairs of girls work this swing
that day, taking turns on their way back from the outhouse at the edge of the
school yard. Kids at recess, at a
one-room Amish parochial school in winter?
They’re just like the kids I used to know – the more air under that
swing, the better!
