Are you a Swinger, Baby????

Oh, come on...I didn't mean it like that!! Avery got to experience the playground for the first time last weekend at Deering Oaks. I think in future we will frequent a different playground. There were people camped out, smoking 3 feet away from the baby swings and unattended children getting into our stuff! Anyway, Avery still enjoyed the swing...I think she liked me sounding foolish and saying "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" every time I pushed her!
