It's more of a bush, actually but he tries to get up as high as he can.

I love the long board shot too :).

Sadly, my nephew fell off the same board (not mine, btw) later that day and broke his wrist. :(

Oh no! I hope he's all right (or as all right as you can be with a broken wrist).

He's doing fine, the little trooper. It's a Compressed Fracture (because the bones are still soft) rather than a Break and he'll have a cast on for 4 weeks. It's coming off two weeks early because we're all going to Kauai. He'll have a removable splint so he can go in the water.

His daddy (my bro) painted Star Wars scenes on his cast which include Obi Wan, Darth Vader and Boba Fett but no Han Solo.

Haha. Near the end of school every year my class always has a 'Field Day' and one of the activities we compete in is water balloon toss. I actually got into this one and my partner and I were against three other groups and it was getting really competitive. Then a teacher on the other side of the field blew a whistle. I turned around and the balloon hit the back of my head. Thus bursting and causing everyone, who wasn't also looking at the teacher who blew the whistle, to laugh.

It was actually really fun because is was 98 degrees.

Looks like fun! I might do this later when I leave for Vancouver, when it will probably be a lot more interesting.

LOL. Naturally our balloon toss soon disintegrated into a full scale war. I grabbed my skateboard and made a quick exit.

I should have thought of waiting for an interesting week myself. Ah well.

Have shown Rosie what a tree climbing cat looks like, in case she fancies an adventure. Is Murphy good at getting down again? The water balloon toss looks great and makes me want to have a go...

He doesn't get too high so it's fairly easy for him to get down by himself. Once he chased a squirrel a good ten feet into the tree and realized too late that he'd gone past the point of no return. I thought about called the Fire Department but decided to do a bit of climbing myself and met him halfway. We both came out a little worse for wear.

I'll put that on your itinerary, ;)

Forcing your dad to cook for Father's Day, huh? ;)

Looks like you had both a fun and productive weekend!

The BBQ is the domain of the Fathers but we make sure they have plenty of beer to sustain them.
