Rock Climbing in the City

It was a gorgeous day outside today, so after Ladies' Bible Study we took our lunch to the park.  The boys ate super fast so they could go run and play.  Brody loves climbing on this random rock that's in the middle of the playground.  I wonder what he'll do someday when we put a harness on him, hook him up to a rope, and tell him to climb up 100 feet? 

(pictures below taken on my iPhone)

I was taking a picture of him standing on top and caught this instead!  Ahhhhh!  This makes me think about the story Mike's told me of his time as a camp counselor.  He jumped off a rock from pretty high up onto soft dirt.  Everyone told him, "That was awesome!  But...we didn't get a picture...so you need to do it again!"  He did...and ended up in the hospital for his knee.  I think I need to tell Brody that story a few more times...

After the playground we went for a walk.  The boys thought this would be a good tree to crawl back under the limbs and make a fort...
 

Barrett was too interested in the squirrels running by to look at the phone and smile.

When we tried to take a group picture, Barrett wanted his stick to be in the picture too!

EVERY picture had his stick in it...which really frustrated Brody!  (He's saying, "NO BARRETT!" in this picture! lol)

I can tell you what he'll do when you hook a rope to him....he'll climb like a little monkey! Adorable group pictures!!! What beautiful blues eyes Brody has!!! And you need a picture of Barrett's stick!! That way when he tells his kids that when he was a kid, he would rather play with sticks than toys, they will believe him!!!
