Air time

Yesterday, when Luke and his family were visiting, we took a walk over to the playground. After tearing through the place like a pack of chimpanzees the kids ended up at the swings where they had a contest to see who could do the best jump.

Here is Emily going for distance (that's Max in the background).


This is Sebastian, getting pretty damn high.


Then we have Max again, really flying.



I watched them for a while, and I have to admit I was impressed. And yet I still couldn't resist the urge to give it a go. You know, to really show them how its done. I figured I'd get some momentum going in those big-bird legs of mine, and then grab some sick air that would just make all those young tykes say "wow!"

Well...what is it they say? That thing about a picture and a thousand words? I can tell you, not one of those words was "wow!"
