Monkey Boy

I'm on record for disliking daylight savings in general, but it's hard not to appreciate suddenly having sunlight after work.

We're in the middle of a Spring-tease.

Daily highs are over 60 degrees. The sun is warm. The breeze is cool.

Beautiful weather!

When I return home from work, Shane and I immediately go outside. We spent an hour at the church playground yesterday. Then we went back again today. There was no need for coats!

Shane has developed some hanging strength lately. He likes to try and hang from monkey bars. I've started trying to coach him in how to cross them, but we're not there yet.

A flock of geese was wandering in the field behind before they migrate back north. We watched several land in the storm dry retaining pond before Shane wanted a closer look. We adventured out of the playground to follow and that's when Shane saw the wall.

Shane has the McRuari monkey gene. He has zero fear of heights and more energy than he knows what to do with.


The climbing wall is behind the church atrium. It was love at first sight. It lasted a full 10 minutes, too!

Ah! Toddler love! It's so intense, but the attention span is fleeting. I'm sure Shane will remember the wall the next time we visit.
