CHAPTER SEVEN
"That's right by my house!" Lisa exclaimed. "I live around the corner on Sunny Street. You can come over one day and go swimming in my pool!"
Emma grinned. "Okay! I just got a new tire swing in my backyard if you want to come over and play today."
"Sure," Lisa agreed.
"I'll go ask my Mommy," Emma said excitedly. She jumped off the jungle gym and ran back to Mommy, who was sitting on the bench watching her play.
Mommy smiled. "Did you make a new friend?" Mommy asked.
Emma nodded. "Can she come over and play today?" she asked.
"Of course," Mommy said. "Make sure it's okay with her mommy."
Emma ran back to Lisa, who had already gotten her mommy's approval. The two skipped back to Emma's house, while both their mommies walked along and chatted.
Emma and Lisa ran into the backyard, where the tire swing swayed in the breeze. Both girls jumped on the tire and began to swing back and forth, laughing gleefully-just like Emma was in the picture from her old house.
