They beg you to go to the playground at the intermediate school.
They practice balancing.
Hugmonkey climbs up higher than I can reach.
There are feats of upper body strength.
He wouldn't even trying climbing this in the spring.
He likes to go sideways. Because it takes longer.
I had to rescue him right after this photo was taken. But considering he's not even 5, that's not so bad.
"I've got to work on my momentum, Mom."
"I'm swinging!"
"I need to hold your hand to jump to the next one."
I made Lovebug freeze in this position so I could get a picture, because otherwise he went too fast.
The spiderweb was too much for Hugmonkey until his 100th viewing of American Ninja Warrior.
Just hanging around.
This is like straight from the show. I wonder who designed this playground, anyway?
And I thought that bar was just for hanging.
Hugmonkey likes to pretend to be a spider in the web.
I'm just glad he decided not to balance on the top bar. That would have made me nervous.
Going higher than ever before.
Do they look like future ninja warriors to you?
Much as I enjoy the show, I'm not sure what it has to do with ninjas. I feel like if it was really about who was the best ninja, there would also be some katana duels and martial arts. Or at least an assassination.

I love it! They are so brave and adventurey.
It is probably a good thing that the makers of that tv show are using the word "ninja" with a very loose meaning.
Your playground is awesome.
Hopefully, your kids don't decide to become future assassins.
Your kiddos are adorable. And way more adventurous than I was at their age. Or ever. Then again, we didn't have ninja shows when I was a kid. Except the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And they don't count because I never wanted to be a turtle.
@Tracie - They are - they've made me really good at pretending to be calm. It's amazing to think this is a school playground, honestly.
@Cindy - Well, if the money's good. . . . :) I don't think they even know what ninjas really are.
@becominneurotic - I was so, so, cautious when I was a kid - I never would have tried anything, except maybe climbing the spider web.
