Oh the places you'll go [with a ladder]

Yesterday, Frost and Dylan had a playdate in which they hammered nails, hit power lines and climbed fences with a ladder.

The ladder started out okay when they used it to provide a way to climb from our front weeds down to the driveway below. That was fun. It was a shortcut. I asked one of them to hold the ladder while the other was climbing and I noticed while watching from the window that they took this very seriously until I took a picture and Frost did the "no hands" trick.

After a while they bored of climbing up the wall and wandered around the yard finding things to mount with their ladder.

The fence was the most fun. They spent a lot of time climbing along the fence and back again, finally settling on top of the pagoda where I plan to plant a vine this year. They sat up there eating snack and practicing standing up with no hands. I had a photo opportunity and they did a lot of poses for me.

So, this post is all about Frost and Dylan and their ladder and not about all the fizzy fake soda they made with baking soda, water and sugar and drank up there. Yes, you can say "yuck" to this.

Here they go:
