Cousins at Play

Today was an eventful day! We spent the afternoon at my parents house and then Boo came home to spend the night with Ethan. We decided to go to the park to finish off the day.




Notice how easy Boo makes this look. He glided on the swing as if he had been doing this forever.

I'm not sure what the attraction to the swing was, but it sure did entertain him for a few minutes.

Doesn't he look like a future Olympic star? You should have seen him on the monkey bars...not that I got pictures of him in time.


Can you see his mini Mohawk? It suits him, doesn't it? Notice he's up high- he spent the entire time at the park (minus the time on the swing) climbing on every thing he could...he is so agile!

Ethan spent an equal amount of time climbing too but he's not quite so agile. As a matter of fact, he tried to do the monkey bars once he saw Boo doing them and promptly fell to the ground. He hurt his wrist again...and we are watching it.

Do you know my Brother Barry? No? Well, he looks just like this...only bigger. Actually- this is exactly how my brother looked when he was this age. It's weird looking at this picture..I could be back in time.

See? Look how far ahead Boo is of Ethan. I tell ya...he's part monkey. That boy sure can move.

Hand down, this is Ethan's favorite thing to do at the park. The red thing rotates and he swings about half way around before dropping to the ground.

I totally love this picture. Jerry was helping Boo across these modified monkey bars (these are not the ones that he was doing by himself). Note Ethan helping him out. This shot cracks me up.

Ethan didn't get farther than this. He leaned out to grab the second bar only to realize that it was a long way down...and he had already fallen off of the other ones. Isn't this a cool picture? I changed it to black and white and then introduced just a little bit of color back in to it.

And for your viewing pleasure....Ethan's very own Andy Warhol collage. It's snazzy, isn't it?

On a side note...did you see the Olympic Swimming today!? Whew! The US men whooped some Olympic butt today! Michael Phelps broke the world record in the 400m.
