Somewhere Out On the Rainbow

What, you may be wondering, could be so interesting in the back yard as to capture the attention of...
 

all three of our children...
 

for over an hour?

Here's a hint...


















































And another...




























































































 
Ta da!

 

After two agonizing hours of practicing their patience, the Rainbow Man (notice I said "the," meaning one...uno...all by himself...in two hours...a feat that would have taken novices such as ourselves two weeks) made all of their back yard dreams come true when he came to the door and announced that he was finished.

 

Since that gloomy (just the weather) day in May, we've spent lots of time sliding (not the snow kind),

 



climbing,

 

rope-swinging,

 

baby-swinging,

 

and tire-swinging.

 

So this summer, if you can't find us, we're probably out back...on the "park," as the kids call it...swinging, under-dogging, pirating, rock-climbing, fire-fighting (the hose is a great free! accessory) and having as much fun as our imaginations can imagine!
