Karsten really wanted to swing on this rope, but he insisted on swinging TOWARD the swingset. Can you imagine how this ended? If you guessed that it ended poorly, you would be correct. He swung into the post on the swingset and got a scratch on his elbow. There was a lot of drama around it, but he was fine.
Ironically, after seeing that, Liam decided that he wanted to climb the rope.
Thankfully, Grandpa was able to show Karsten how you could swing on the rope without hitting the swingset. As soon as Leland heard the click of my camera on this shot, he said 'Nooooo'. :)
After seeing Grandpa on the rope, Karsten was ready to try again. This time he did great and swung away from the swingset.
I don't remember what this thing is called that Karsten is riding, but he sure enjoyed it. He wanted Liam to get on the other side but Liam kept saying 'me no no how'. At first, Karsten had his head on the other side of the swing, but I had visions of him knocking his head on the metal pole, so I asked him to move to the other side. Crisis averted!
Liam is often afraid of swings, but not Grandma's swings - they're lots of fun!
This one is mischevious...and adorable. He knows how to work those eyes and give you expressions that will crack you up (even when you're supposed to be angry).
Drop kicking balls is a new hobby at our house. We try to prevent it inside and are about 85% successful. Keep your fingers crossed that our success rate increases before something breaks.
Liam rarely connects with the ball, but Karsten gets it every time. This sidewalk was the perfect place to practie his kicks. There was only one close encounter with the greenhouse door behind them.
And once the ball was kicked, both of them would run and get it and come back. Endless fun - when it was time to go inside, they were not too happy.
After lunch, the boys had some quiet time (aka nap for Liam) before they got up and played inside. It was a nice, relaxing day!
