Even as a grown-up, swings are still the best. They make you feel like you could fly
Rainbo (Submission author) 8 years ago
Right? It's that feeling of being almost weightless, and feeling like you could soar into the sky.. :)

I remember the special technique to untangle it. Still not easy. And multiple tangling might cause those circle to get uneven or break apart.

It was the best! Growing up on a farm we'd go to the hay fields before the grass got too high and lay in the grass just stuffing our faces with those strawberries. They were always the sweetest tasting berries cause I was eating them with my best friend in the world! I miss those days!

Grow up! We were kids who were close in age and best friends who just happened to be related and we grew up enjoying the wonder and simplicity that came from living in the country!

Aha to be honest I only just found out it aired in Nova Scotia a few months ago myself! I don't how I didn't notice it before though, with father bear being a fisherman, the boreal forests, and Moose showing up occasionally... The whole show looks very similar to my own childhood :)
