If this whole homeschooling venture doesn't work out, the children will be ready for careers in the circus. (The below photos were taken over a couple of typical days around here in which my blood pressure hardly even rises over these antics anymore.)

| Margaret, age 3 |
 |
| Why sit when one can stand and swing? |
 |
| Mary (5) and John (7) doing a double-trapeze act |
 |
| The trapeze isn't quite high enough, so the children hooked a chain way up high to create a High Swing. |
 |
| John climbing a rope |
Video of Mary climbing the rope . . . up, up, up!
John does tricks on the swing hanging from our tree, and will often spend a half hour perfecting them.
 |
| Where's Waldo . . . Where's Mary? |
 |
| She does balance beam walking along the deck railing. |
 |
| A regular hang-out spot |
 |
Mary: Queen of the Mountain
(No, she's not allowed to do this particular trick fifteen feet up, although, when I walked into the back yard and discovered her up there, I had to document what I told her would be her last time doing that.) |
That is a very cool set up you have there! My kids would love something like that.
