Park Power

At playgrounds, now that many of my kids are getting older, the main fun seems to come from scaring mom.  They want to climb on top of or on the outside of the playground equipment.  It doesn't seem to frighten them at all that they could so easily come crashing down.  Some of them like to get into crazy positions and have me take their photo.  Others, especially Michael, like to show off their muscle strength by holding their entire body away from the sliding pole and only holding on with one arm.  I have no idea how they do it.  My poor old, going to turn 35 years old this year, muscles groan in sympathy just watching my kids do these crazy things.
