Jungle Gym

I walked to school again today to pick up Kevin and found a lovely path through the woods to use again on our way home.
I found him in the school yard with some friends from his art class in which they had made puppets.

Then we proceeded to the greatest natural jungle gym ever!!!!! Picture the setting: lovely woods with a paved path running along side on a 70 degree spring day. The perfect stream with clean water running through the woods. Fallen trees bridging the stream in a few places. Vines hanging waiting for Tarzan to arrive. Several schoolmates and their moms and younger siblings enjoying the same perfect playland.

Tentative first steps balancing on the first log bridge.

















Hanging from a dead limb!

Comfortable with navigating the tree bridges. Oh, my. . . Running and jumping while about 5 feet above the water.








Swinging on the Tarzan vines!






Beyond the creek was a tree deeply bend over, yet at least 15 feet above the ground where Kevin is on it! :-0 Way to make a grandmother's hair turn white!!!


We stopped at a playground adjacent to the natural jungle gym for some "safe" climbing and swinging.

On our way home, we met these adorable puppies.


Once we were home, it was bath time.


Tonight we played Blockus. Kinga won, Kevin came in second, Steve was third, and Grandma was on the bottom.
