Stevie is excited because he and his dad are going to hang a tire swing from the big branch sticking out of the oak tree by the driveway. Together, Stevie, Sam - his older brother, and their father find or buy the swing’s materials. Then the boys realize the branch is way off the ground and they can’t get the rope over it. Their discouragement doesn’t last long as advice and help from dad, milk and cookies from mom, and a tip from Heather, their 10 year old sister, does the trick and the swing is completed.

Daddy agreed and they walked outside. Raising Kids picks up the adventures of Pete and Petey, where Tire Swing left off. Pete and Petey enjoy a close father-son relationship and are members of a loving family that does things together, but will this hold true when they see what Sam is doing?

Petey gathers her groceries while his dad helps the lady to her feet.
