Airborne Rangers, Feats of Strength!

When life gets a little boring at our house.... enter airborne rangers. Yes, this could be a very.... alright an extremely dangerous pastime we share, nevertheless it is very fun. There is nothing better to wear out two extremely active, little boys than to send them flying through the air hoping to stick a perfect landing.

Rules of the game are as follow: Child lies on his back face up. Father counts down from 10. At blastoff moment, father grabs child by ankles, and swings them up flipping them face forward and sending them flying airborne into the Jump-O-Lene.

I tell you what, kids love this stuff.

The new Feat Of Strength at our house is for the boys to pull their shirts off midair during flight and land bare-chested.
I think it makes them feel manly.
Here are pictures of our latest airborne moment.
Ike's flight

Will almost successfully has his shirt off.

Perfect form!


And the shirt goes flying.
*** Need a Christmas Gift Idea... May we suggest the Jump-O-Lene. Santa left this at our house a couple years ago, and our lives have never quite been the same.***
