"Look Ollie, what I'll do is tie this end to a branch, you sit in the chair, and we'll see if it holds".
"Is is holding Harv?"
"Sort of".
"Tell me if it looks like breaking".
"OK".
The rest is history, and probably best forgotten.

That photo reminded me of the tree house at the Hearne's place. Presume no serious damage was done.
ReplyDeleteNo, pride dented a bit.
DeleteHaha. Boys!
ReplyDeleteThey don't miss a trick.
DeleteWell, it stayed up long enough for the photo to be snapped.
ReplyDeleteI think Bok misses the boys.
Greetings Maria x
He was quite morose for a few days after they left.
Deletep.s. ... and that is a lovely double-storey tree house

Hello Maria...great to see you visiting again! xo
DeleteThat's what boys do!
ReplyDeleteYup; and worse.
DeleteHahaha and oh dear.
ReplyDeleteThe HAVE to experiment.
DeleteSmall boys. you don't know whether to tell at them or laugh at them. Very inventive! I won't be showing my grandsons that photo
ReplyDeleteI think they named it 'The Floating Chair'. I would have called it something different.
DeleteJust shows what inventive minds they have !!! You don't have that sort of fun looking at a screen do you ?!!!!!! I do worry what modern technology is doing to inventive play. XXXX
ReplyDeleteThis is why their tree house area is known as 'Dangerous Fun'.
DeleteIf you think up a squillon and one things kids could get up to... they come along with the squillon and oneth thing... don't you just love that freedom of thought.
ReplyDeleteI believe in giving children 'almost' total freedom.
DeleteSomeone took the photo.
ReplyDeleteMoi!
DeleteWhen I was but a lad, we only had a splintered board to sit upon.
ReplyDeleteThey have one of those too!
DeleteWere vinegar and brown paper needed? hope nobody was badly hurt.
ReplyDeleteNo, but my industrial pack of sticking plasters came in useful.
DeleteYou can't help but laugh when you see what they get up too.
ReplyDeleteThey're both obsessed by FIRE (what boys aren't), which is my biggest worry.
DeleteThose were the days!
ReplyDeleteWe try to keep them going Graham.
DeleteDo we get to hear the end of the story or do we have to draw our own conclusions?
ReplyDeleteThe less said, the better. All was OK.
DeleteHa ha this brought back memories and of course fears of our two boys and the daredevil stunts they pulled daily. We are so happy they made it to adulthood. We just chuckle with delight when one of their children pull the same stunts. It is called payback.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are. I shudder when I think back some times.
DeleteWonderful to have a quick Sunday catch up of what's been going on in your neighborhood. Congrats on the garden bounty, and on having these energetic, rambunctious, creative grandsons. Bok's pal Marley reminds me of a beautiful dog who was part of the next door neighbor's family back in my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI'm not writing too much, because I want to keep hopping amongst blogs...like bees I have recently observed visiting flowers over in Central Park. xo
Hi Frances. I trust your summer is going well.
