This afternoon while I was simultaneously doing some computer work and placing a take-out order from the Princess' new restaurant, the boys were busy outside.
They built this:
It looks like an ordinary swing, but it isn't. It has a cardboard seat which is carefully attached to the rope with some handy dandy packing tape, and...the swing is anchored to the very tiptop of the tree. The fact that Jacob climbed so high up in the tree would have caused me a minor heart attack had I been a witness. Good thing I was enjoying pretend pizza and blueberry pie at the time.
There's more. The other half of the rope serves as an additional swing.
Like I said - a lot can happen when you throw in some imagination.

Ahhh, sounds just like me and my friends when we were younger! We spent so much time outside playing with sticks and leaves and climbing trees. Looks like they had a blast!
Well aren't they clever! Glad to see you...I feel like it's been a while.
Moments like these are some of the best of parenting! And talk about summer education, this is great.
Wow! I can't believe he climbed that high. Way to go, although like you I would probably be better off not witnessing it. :-)
Wow, that is really neat!! Great job boys!
That is one serious tree to climb! I would have preferred not to witness the climbing, too--and this coming from a tomboy who would climb any tree she could...but that was a loooooong time ago. ;) Fantastic imaginations! Hope you're having a great summer!
i thought it was cardboard the moment i saw it! i LOVE when kids create things!!!
