Because so many of the weeds and brush have died away, now is a perfect time of year to head out into the woods with your kids looking for vines to swing from.Make sure you know what poison ivy looks like so as to avoid that, but otherwise just have fun with it! Sometimes the person swinging will discover that the vine isn't as well affixed to the tree as they thought it was and so will end up a little heap on the ground, but they won't fall from far up; so it just adds to the fun (as long as you aren't swinging over any dangerous rocks).

We live in the mountains and have tons of grapevines. If you cut a grapevine to swing on, they will usually last a year before they turn loose (ours did yesterday :)).
Before my children swing on one, my husband will test it first. If it holds him it'll hold them!
Love all your pictures. :)
