This kid is clearly up to no good.
Doesn't he have that look?
All 3 of my boys are at that stage where they think they can hold something behind their back and tap dance sideways while grinning at me and I will never know that they have something they shouldn't.
Mommy
is
just
so
smart.
So my husband says he would like to put up a zip line in the back yard.
Ya know
for the kids.
We have a trampoline.
Which
really
freaks other non trampoline owning parents out.
We have done our research...no horror stories, please.
So.
Trampoline = great sensory input for the kiddos.
Kinda our at home OT.
But
Trampoline also = danger
Will Robinson
Danger.
Then the grandparents got the kiddos a fort.
Fort America.
I didn't realize just how small Max still was until I saw him on the upper level of Fort America.
Look at that
We just made outside even more dangerous.
Great.
Maybe a pack of wild boars next.
Now
there is a zip line.
Um
hubby was in the Army for 6 years.
He jumped out of air planes.
He repelled from very high things.
He can do a lot
So being all he could be was really a kick for him most days.
So we can't have a whimpy zip line for our young lads.
Nooooooooooo.
To get to the zip line
you must climb up the
extension
ladder
to the platform
where you attatch your saftey line to the wire
and wear the harness Daddy/Eagle Scout fashioned for you.
Can I say that again
extension
ladder.
Now hang on as you
ZIP
very quickly
lift your legs over that smallish tree that we need to cut down because it really is in the way
(only 1 injury so far from that tree)
and then put you feet out fast
because you are going to hit the very big tree the zipline is tied to
and then
you will dangle
dan
gle
because the zip line is still high even at its lowest point
hubby is working on platform #2 now
He saw this thing on the Discoverty Channel about installing a pully system up high in the trees for climbing and repelling.
Um
all 3 of our kids are still in car seats/ booster seats.
At their current weight gaining curve...they may be allowed to sit int he front seat for their driver's test.
And we want a pully system in the trees?
So I say to the hubby
WOW
this is great.
But where are you going to put the hoop of fire?
In other news.
