Air Time

I don't fly.  The convenience of being airborne to get to a destination quickly is not enough for me to a voluntarily take my feet off the ground.  In a conversation I had with Caleb last week about planes and his request to go for an airplane ride, I informed him that "Mama don't do planes" and that just about sums up the whole issue. 

Having said that, I can assure you that my nieces seen below have had more air time here on earth than I will ever (voluntarily) have at any time in my life.  Take a look:



The Todd girls and their daddy, Adam, has made sure that they are not fearful of a little adventurous play.
Just a little toss in the air...what baby doesn't like that?
(By the way, this is Emma.  She's a very healthy, sturdy one year old!)





Just a little higher with more giggles....



And a little higher and even more giggles....

Oh no!  We just KNEW that last toss was a doozy.  Don't worry, she came down...eventually :-)



This is Jocelyn.  My kids like to be thrown down the water slide by their hands or feet.  Adam and Jill's girls just like to be thrown down the water slide.




Airtime!




If I knew this was what the activities were going to involve, I would have gotten my kids' plastic bowling pins to set up at the end of the slide. New tradition: Fourth of July Kid Bowling.  We'll make a bracket and start a championship next year...any takers?  Speak up now 'cause the slots are sure to fill up fast.
