hammock = fun

two hammocks from paul's mission have been stored for...let's just say a lot of years. i finally got them out, hung them up in our front yard with some old nylon rope and lots of knots (we're talking quantity not quality here, folks), and the kids spent the entire morning swinging in the hammocks and LAUGHING. even addie was having a dangerously frolicky time.

if you need any fodder for convincing someone to serve a mission, feel free to consider this exhibit A: the goods you get to take home, store for a decade, then bring out for your kids to enjoy. you're welcome.

Hammocks are so fun! We got one at the home depot, not as cool as yours. We first got the net kind but my nephew was too little and kept falling threw. We found him one time with it wrapped around his neck. We took it back and got the material kind.
I can't believe you have a 5 year old! What a cute kid and fun party. I love the dress up party too!
