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!
