A little outdoor entertainment

Macen has been enjoying a slide/swing set in the backyard. The pic above is from the first time he climbed up it and found the wheel.
He enjoys the slide the most and goes down it with one leg in front of him and the other leg bent back. He seems to think he can climb back up the slide and got frustrated when he couldn't do it. So he kept practicing and now he can. Which means he uses the 'steps' on the other side as a slide. It is a bit bumpy for him but he has made both sides multi-functional. He's an equal opportunist when it comes to sliding.
He's not sure about the swing. I don't know if it sits too low to the ground or doesn't swing enough but its not as thrilling. I think it has more to do with it containing him since he's not one for sitting still. We'll have to try the real playground sometime and test a different swing.

Instant to the wheel huh? Must get that from Uncle JJ. Since I have all girls, can Macen be our next race car driver!?!? We'll have to start building his race car before long!

Don't worry Stacy, I've already got a car picked out for him. If JJ wants to help put one of these together in 14 years or so I'm sure we'll welcome the help: http://www.factoryfive.com/coupehome.html

That car looks great! Go ahead and sign JJ up on that dotted line to help!!!
