The rope

If I would have known a rope would give so many hours of playtime I might have saved it for Thomas's Birthday.

I know you are all wondering how the rope swing and repelling are coming along at our house. Thomas has progress to the top of the railing on the lower deck. He takes the rope and swings from on top of the railing and he is able to swing over the fence. Rosie (the dog next door) is usually right there ready to get him.
Yes, the rope went with us to Hamilton (the boy's school) on Sunday (during our open house). They decided to go to school because their teachers do not let them climb the trees!!!

Up the trees they went.

Thomas was trying to use the rope like you would with rock climbing. (We need to get him some classes with rock climbing)!!!!

Higher and higher they went . . . . .

until I could not see them very good.

Do you see Henry (he is at the top of the tree)?

Henry took my camera with him once to take a picture from the top of the tree.

Do you see me? Yes, the ant-looking figure at the bottom.

Later that day, Thomas found another tree to climb.

Yes, I wish we had a yard full of trees.
