Climbing trees.


It has been a wonderful hot and sunny day today and the boys enjoyed playing in the garden.


Lewis likes to climb trees it seems...


Hmmm...what are those two doing down there? He wonders as he looks down towards the lawn.


Wow, Rory, look at you!  Henry says as Rory shows off how he can do a head stand in the newly grown long grass.


Rory and Henry also enjoy climbing trees.


Come on Henry!  Rory says.


I'm coming.  Henry replies.

But then Henry stops...and turns around...


Lewis!  What on earth are you doing?  Henry cries out alarmed at the sight of Lewis hanging upside down in the tree.


I'm hanging!  


Wheeeee, look at meeeee....  Lewis calls.

Henry gets ready to try and catch Lewis in case he falls.


Careful, Mum won't be too pleased if you fall and hurt yourself.  Henry tells him.


I'm not going to fall.  Lewis says confidently.


I've been practising!


A little while later, safely on the ground.


There really isn't anything to it.  Lewis explains.  You just bend your knees and hook your feet round a branch. 

Easy for you to say. Henry tells him


Do you think you could show me how to bend my legs and hook my feet round a branch? Rory asks Lewis as they walk home.  Henry decides to keep his thoughts to himself.

  1. Ah Rory, ever the optimist! Those are some really cool looking cargo shorts the boys are wearing. The pockets are perfect for collecting interesting rocks, or pine cones, or maybe even frogs!

    1. Yes always useful to have pockets in shorts! You never know what you might need to put in them. I need to make some shorts for some of the other boys...if ever my machine and I are on talking terms again!

  2. Very sensible of these three lads to play in the shade of these leafy trees in this extremely hot weather.
    Pleased to see that 'Dear' Henry is wearing his cap for added protection as those Frido/Trendon brown eyes can start too oxidise when exposed to this hot sun.

    1. It is nice to have the shade of the trees. We are loving this hot weather very much, it makes me feel so much more energised, but I am probably the exception! I always think it doesn't last long though, so must make the most of it.

  4. How wonderful your boys are and Lewis has found two wonderful friends. Ezri and Ayza are becoming firm friends too. The 3 of us have been having a go at making some clothes for Ayza as it's been to hot to do anything more strenuous! :) x

    1. Lewis is pleased to have found some good friends. It is always good to have a friend. So glad Ezri and Ayza are becoming firm friends, I am sure they will have a lot of fun together.

  5. Yes, that's summer! Good thing the boys made the best of it.
    Lewis is very artistic and daring. I hope his mum wasn't too concerned he might fall.

  6. Those boys are a handful - you must have to keep an eye on them all the time! I hope Lewis doesn't lead them down the garden path. He looks so innocent but looks can be deceiving!

    1. I have a feeling Lewis isn't quite as shy and innocent as he looks!
