After our toy plane adventure, we headed over to Maxwell’s favorite spot in the neighborhood.  the swings.  As you know, we have a long history with these swings.  We loved them in the winter, and many, many times in the spring.  Now that summer is here we love them even more.  Susan takes Maxwell to swing just about every morning and I take him any chance I can during the weekend.

Maxwell is getting quite brave on the swings. He loves to go high and feel the wind in his hair!

On Sunday he loved it so much he even started patty-caking mid-swing!

He then got some extra pushes from Dad to make him go extra high!

Even though Maxwell’s face looks terrified in that last picture, I’m pretty sure the swings are one of his very favorite places on earth!

Finally – the weekend recap!  Robert got this little remote controlled toy airplane for Christmas 2 years ago.  He recently rediscovered it in the cabinet and thought Sunday would be a good time to set it off on its inaugural flight.

Like all takeoffs, a good “run”way was necessary….

Thanks to Robert’s strong arm, the little plane soared!  Doesn’t this look like a real plane high in the sky?!

Even though Robert tried really hard to keep it in the air… (Robert’s face cracks me up here)…

the remote control ultimately couldn’t take control of the little plane.  Crash and burn.

Successful flight or not, Maxwell had fun watching Dad run around. (please note the crossed ankles again. cuteness.)

And I had fun hanging out with my boys.

Next stop?  The swings!  See you tomorrow.
