Lessons learned on this sunny Sunday.

#1. Check hammock thouroughly after taking it out of winter storage.
#2. Allow only 1 human at a time on the hammock, no matter how little the other 2 humans are.
#3. Never allow anyone to play under the hammock while others are on it.
#4. A group of three take .001 seconds to make contact with the ground (or Emery's head) when a cable snaps on the hammock.
#5. A 7 year old's heads is not ever meant to break the fall of her 34 year old mother.
#6. However, apparently 7 year old heads bounce back to perefect health much faster than a 34 year old woman's lower back. For that I am very grateful.
#7. Trauma makes a woman very sleepy.
#8. Advil and a heat pad are my friends.
