Back Yard Fun

Well, it started out fun...

First they played on the swings. Bentley is really into swinging lately. The twins not as much today.


We let the twins run barefoot through the grass. Okay, run is an exaggeration. Especially given that the photos below are of them sitting. They did spend part of their time in the back yard walking around.



Bentley took out the T-ball set to play with. He's quite good already. We need to start giving him some coaching on his batting form.


Jake, too, thinks T-ball is fun. He already knows what to do with the ball. And with the bat.



Viva had little interest in the T-ball or bat until she clued in that the ball was foam. !!! She's been on a foam-free diet, so she was quite excited. She put it in her mouth. I took it away. Howling commenced.


Viva found the slide quite fun. She likes to climb it. She was having a good time.


Then Jake came over. Here's what he did.





Yup, he climbed right over her. Soon he was King of the Slide.


Kara came into the yard about then and asked us what we were doing to poor Viva because she was crying.


She's usually good-natured, but she'd had enough fun in the back yard with her brothers (who were not gentlemen) and her grandparents (who did not do an adequate job of protecting her).

Jake's reign was short lived.
