Obstacle Course Fun!

One recent sunny day I constructed an obstacle course for the boys. I got the idea by reading a fellow Yahoo Grouper's blog last summer.

This was not a winning game (as John likes to ask) and each boy began the obstacle course by riding in one of their cars around the patio table:

Then they had to load a variety of different sized balls into their little plastic wheel barrow and push it down, around the tree, and back, dumping the balls out as they arrived back where they started:

Next, they jumped through the rungs on the ladder (and believe it or not there were no injuries!):

Sat in both chairs (and it was hilarious - they really sat in the chairs for awhile instead of racing to the next section!):

Tossed the birdie golf balls from one hula hoop to the next:

Through a football over the tree branch:

Went across the monkey bars:

Climbed up the stairs to the castle:

And went down any of the three slides they wanted to:

They had a blast and went through the course probably five or six times each - and they slept very well that night too!
