Grandpa's Invention

When we visited Chad's parents yesterday, grandpa pulled out his newest invention. He has some great ideas, and I tell him he should sell some of them. This is an invention that every parent can get behind - an automatic swing. It was so great. He is still working out the bugs, but he took a part from a pivot (I'm pretty sure), added a few parts and a motor, and he came up with this swing. The kids loved it until it started to go to fast. He plans on making it so it can have 4 swings, and will only require one adult to run - what a great idea!! Owen had a great time, but it might take some coaxing to get Claire back in it. Maybe if her dad isn't in charge of the speed! Great idea grandpa! Owen told me this morning that grandpa's swing is "cool!"



Working out the bugs
Grandpa is just testing it out!

He's needs to get a patent on one of those things! I would totally buy one!

We used to have something like that back in Texas. Darryl would hang the kid's swing (Or if they were small enough, stick them in a halter) on the horse walker!
