Meet Petey Washburn. He is seven and is named after his dad, Pete, but everyone calls him Petey. Petey 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.

Their discouragement doesn’t last long as advice and help from Daddy, milk and cookies from Mom, and a tip from Heather, their 10 year old sister, does the trick and the swing is completed. |
