I'M A SWINGER!!!!

The hubby, grandson and I went to the school playground after our 2 mile bike ride.  And the grandson and I were swinging on the swings --- higher and higher and then playing tag by swinging sideways. He laughed so hard and had so much fun.  Continual giggles the entire time.  And then it hit me that without this surgery and losing the weight, I NEVER would have been able to do this and I think of all the laughter that I would have missed.  Made me teary eyed. We are soooo blessed to have this gift!!!!

Aww that is awesome Barb!!!  Those are the WOW moments that make it all worth it! (((Hugs))) Michelle

That's just great!!! Those little memories are the ones we'll treasure forever. I'm glad you were able to enjoy some grandson time.  Hugs, Lori

(((Barb))) That is so fun! I admit I still swing with my kids but let me tell you, it's not for very long and the outter thigh pain from getting squeezed against the chains are almost not worth it. But, I can't wait for the day to just pump it and go for the sky! Keep swingin' Barb 'cuz there are many more laughs coming your way!

Wow... I never thought of swinging.... sounds like you had a great time.....

I so want to experience ALL the adventures life has to offer that I either couldn't, or was afraid to do before WLS... and you just put a new one to my list... I don't have grandkids yet...(November Yippie) So will have to go to the park next to me... and make everyone think I am crazy..(okay I am a little) and swing!!!!! Thanks for the idea.

Awwwwwwwwww fun.... that is so exhilirating and laughter filled!   Good for you and WOW what a WOW moment!  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Barb...isn't life wonderful!! I am so happy for you and all the new memories you are making with your grandson. He will never forget the FUN grandma and those good times!! I did the same thing when I was down in Iowa at Nic's. My daughter Jamie, Nic, Gracie and I all went for a bike ride. We then went to the playground. I was swinging, climbing monkey bars, going through enclosed kiddie slides and all the rest. I never got tired and I had so much fun. Gracie (1  1/2 years) wanted Nana to play all day! Jamie said...mom....look at you...last summer you couldn't do any of this.....it brought tears to my eyes too!! I love WLS!!!!! Love ya...hugs.....connie d

Can I just say, TIRE SWINGS ROCK!!!  I have always been a sucker for a tire swing  -  I want to figure out how to put a video clip of me on a tire swing up for my avatar, but I'm not sure that's possible...? GREAT WOW, Barb!!  (WAY better than where my mind took me after reading the title of this thread!)
