This is my boy and his best bud. When they aren’t wilding the neighborhood (more on that later) – they climb.
Trees, fences, big rocks, barriers to sewers – nothing can stop them. They pack a snack, they make plans, and they go.
Sometimes they come back with a nice wild flower or funny story. Most times they have be hunted down and brought to justice for being late for soccer or baseball or piano or life.
After raising a girl who likes to do “inside” things like her Mom, it was a shock to my system to get this little monkey. But I’m catching on. I yell. A lot.
There are more than just these two hooligans in the gang – but I need to ease you into this life of crime.

Two little tarzans swinging in the trees. We’re told “just wait- just wait until their teens”. Mamas call eachother and we try hard not to scream at those two little tarzans swinging in the trees. Love those pics! Your boy looks so skilled and calm. My boylooks like he’s going to die 🙂 You go girl!

I loved climbing trees as a kid. I was up one pretty much every opportunity I got. 🙂 Thanks for the good memories so early in my morning.
