Pattison State Park Part 2: The Picnic

After all the hiking, we were all hungry, so we unpacked our picnic near the main entrance to the park by the bathhouse and big parking lot so that the kidlets would have a chance to swing on the really tall swings.  This state park has the most wonderful swingsets in the world.  They are old, and tall and truly wonderful.  You can swing so high that it is absolutely thrilling.  Every swingset should be like these.  The swings just have the smoothest glide, although the seats are a bit uncomfortable,  I’m told.  The kidlets were most excited about the potential for swinging when we told them where we were going, so we made sure we incorporated the swings in our activities. They could hardly stand waiting for the swings the whole time we were hiking.
