One of Eli’s birthday gifts was a hammock from Gogo and Gramps and us…although Grace is spending more time in it than Eli. It is a Lycra hammock, which we saw at our friends the Fredricks. We followed these instructions for tying up the hammock, and after drilling some holes it was quick and easy to put up. Grace is loving playing in it like a jungle gym (she likes to go from one level to the other – it is folded into three layers), and Eli loves being swung, rolled and bounced around.
