Tree Climbing

Over at Bryce and Chris's house there is a Japanese maple with fantastic low branches.  Last week we dropped by to play and the kids explored the tree.

There were lots of little perches and spots to claim as their own.  They declared it a kingdom, and themselves the rulers.  Naturally.

Evan loves showing off his strength and bravery.  Or maybe I should say Prince Evan loves battling evil forces that attempt to invade his tree kingdom. 

When they finally did come down to the ground again, they decided to hide their stuffed animals on the branches (this is one of their outside games they play at home all the time), and cousin Ajay got in on the action too.  Kitties everywhere!
