Monkey bars and tree climbing

We had a fun couple of days with the girls.  Thursday they went to Aunt Cathy's to play with the kids and then Friday Jillian and Bridget came up.  They spent as much time as possible, between rain showers, at the play fort. 
They all practiced their monkey bar skills, working on passing each other in the middle.  We had put up a badminton net and Jillian wanted to try it so I played with her.  It didn't take her long to get the hang of it.  Ava, Harper and Jillian haven't quite figured it out yet.

This was funny.  Harper came running to get me today, freaking out, saying Rielee was climbing a tree!! I said that was okay and Harper couldn't believe it.  She said "you aren't mad?!"  When I said I wasn't, she said she wanted to climb the tree, too, and I said to go ahead.  She looked shocked, but got excited and then goes "ok, but don't tell Daddy!"  I assured her that Daddy wouldn't care, he climbed trees when he was a kid.  Well, as it turned out Rielee's tree was a little too high for Ava and Harper to get into, they couldn't reach the bottom limbs.  Rielee went way high though, wearing her birthday crown.

Ava climbed up a Japanese maple instead and was pretty happy with that, she still wanted to try climbing the bigger tree so I boosted her into it, but she quickly got nervous and wanted down.

Harper had fun in the maple and tried the big tree, too, briefly.  It was quite an adventure for them.
