Creativity Abounds

I was outside the other day with the puppies, and I found this in the snow.  I decided I needed to get a picture of it, so I grabbed my phone, and snapped a shot.  

 

I knew Claire had been outside playing, she has to exercise 16 days this month, so she goes out and runs around the house, or just strolls through the yard.  I also knew she was playing in the back yard with a piece of rope, and she had tied it to a chair.  The chair, however, was still in the pile of snow.  The next day we went outside, and she showed me how it worked:

Here she is on her own swing.  She had a lot of fun with it, until it broke.  Fortunately no one was on it, so no one got hurt.
