I came home to this contraption. Lynn rigged an extension ladder to the swing set resting it on a step ladder, creating white trash monkey bars. At its highest point, the monkey bars were about 6 feet off the ground. The other end was relatively low but Leah climbed the step ladder making her eye to eye with the edge of the roof... which she clutched. Fabulous. Neither one of them understood why I didn't share their glee.
I'm no engineer but what's preventing the extension ladder from "extending" as she swung from rung to rung either catching her hand and shaving her skin leaving a bloody appendage or simply severing her entire hand?
I'm going to St. Louis for a week. Will someone check on them for me?

I'm sure they'll be fine! Kids always have the most fun with Dad while Mom's away. All three of mine lived to tell the tale - with minimal scarring!
Keep on bloggin'!
I am sure Lynn is having fun reliving his childhood!!!
Lynn should realize that Leah would be safer inside playing video games!!!
