This picture says it all. It grabs the very essence of childhood and shouts for joy! Springs, duct tape, and muddy sneakers! I do love my Lewis. He also came up with a similar arrangement for Della, and of course, Max had to join in, too.
They tore the springs out of an old box springs that is flopped out in the back yard.
Someone please cue the music for Sanford and Sons.
If you are too young for that reference, then this old mama apologizes. (I turn 44 today!)
And you missed some pretty awesome 70's programming.
Happy day to you!
Happy birthday to a wonderful lady!

My children constantly drag junk into the backyard and "invent" things. Our neighbors think it's trash but I believe it to be the training ground for future engineers and scientists.
ReplyDeleteI sure could have used those shoes when I jumped out of the hayloft as a kid.

Just found your sweet blog today. Looks like a scene in my own backyard, they amuse me so with the ways they entertain themselves. Right there with you on the Sanford reference, love it! Showed my kids "whatchoo talkin' bout Willis" on youtube the other day. Its all good though : )
ReplyDeleteThis photo made me laugh out loud. Happy birthday, Ivey! Hope it was bouncy and fun! :)
