A good belly laugh



We visited Sweet Home orphanage one last time before we left the central part of India and headed back to the Northeast. One afternoon I went out with the smaller girls and we played on the swings and the slide. These girls don't speak english but they do understand a little. I was on the swing when a girl, Pune, grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a low tree branch that 4 other girls were holding onto. Pune pushed me onto the branch so I was sitting on it and I didn't realize that the girls had been holding the branch down. When they let go, I flew so high and almost fell off. I quickly grabbed the tree before making a fall and the girls were laughing so hard. When I came back down I began to laugh so hard I was crying. Then all of us sat on the branch and went up and down, laughing harder and harder with each drop. We played on that tree for quite some time and when we were finished my stomach muscles were aching. Someone had my camera and snapped a good shot!
