We've got a nice mango tree in our yard that makes a great jungle gym. The kids LOVE to climb it and it's one of the most popular "toys" out there now.
Simple, yet affordable (if you happen to live in Africa!)
An enjoyable activity for Frank is to run into the house and get a banana, then climb up the tree to eat it. Too many trips to the zoo for this boy or what?!
Ella is a careful climber (like her outfit? Ella fashion - a turtleneck and shorts :). She's got the longest arms and legs but isn't all that sure of where to put them.
Frank on the other hand... wow! I've never seen a person climb a tree like Frank. He uses his entire body! If his arm or foot doesn't reach a limb he'll actually use the rest of his body to cling to the tree and inch up. He even uses his BUTT to hang himself on something with! He is ALL OVER up there! And as you can see, he does tricks too!
Our cat Bronco - fully recovered from a killer case of mange and the cow treatment that followed! It almost killed him and majorly stunted his growth but he is getting fat now, doesn't stink and doesn't yowl and meow all the time. He's actually a great pet! And no, I didn't bbq him up on the grill :)
Went to the Gardens and Lake the other day with our friend, Abi. She's about 8 months older than Frankie and he practically towers over her :)
The pups enjoyed their first encounter with the Lake! With a little work it looks like Madea will be our next water dog :)
Harriet and Co came over last weekend and the kids all had a blast!

Oh my gosh, I would be terrified of Victor climbing that mango tree! But, that's because my kid has no coordination, and he trips and stumbles for absolutely no apparent reason- other than he's Victor. :)
I love the dogs at the lake- Charlie and Hudson enjoy chasing the ducks and geese whenever they go to our little lake. :)
