She's not really that interested in doing much else here... She could swing for hours watching all the skokie critters.
Been thinking about getting an indoor swings at home for a while now... happened upon this one from SoftLine, designed by Busk + Hertzog.

After getting dinner in the oven we go outside and hit the pavement with a bag of these crayons for some end-of-day outdoor fun with the neighbors...
