So what happens when you leave Daddy in charge of the boys? Two words: zip line. Alternatively, those two words could be: emergency room.
It all started with a family trip to the zoo this past Friday morning. Anyone who has visited our beloved Riverbanks Zoo probably has heard the loud howling of the siamangs and seen their gleeful acrobatic swinging on trees and ropes. Enter my husband. He and Milo decide that we should have a system of ropes attached to our backyard play fort so they can swing around just like the siamangs. One trip to Lowe's hardware store, a couple of hours in the backyard using power tools, and they've installed a zip line that traverses our yard, starting at the play fort. Frankly I think this is a recipe for our first trip to the emergency room (I know, amazing, I've got two boys, ages 4.5 and 2.5, and we've not yet broken any bones), but the boys (my husband included) think this is ultimate fun. I guess Daddy is a whole lot more fun than Mommy. And that's okay.
