Tree climbing

Here's Garrett being shoved into the tree. He was not happy about it!

This is attempt number one. Josh couldn't get him to let go of the tree and turn around to sit on the branch.

This is Garrett on the other side of the branch that he would not let go of. "He looks happy" you say, but just as I pointed the camera at him, he stopped screaming and said "CHEEEEEESE!"


Here is attempt number two. This time he wouldn't let go of Josh. Josh wasn't holding him up at all. Garrett had both legs and arms wrapped around Josh and was holding on for his life.

When Josh finally got him up in the tree, Garrett once again began to scream, "Get me DOWN!" (as you can tell by his mouth in this picture). Josh is trying to get his attention to tell him to lean him weight back and rest in the branch.

Once again, right after I snapped that last picture, he saw the camera and cheesed it up for me. These are some of the best pictures of him we've gotten in a long time.

He cracks me up! The pistures did turn out cute of him and that is hard to do. I really love the one of him hugging Josh - even though he was holding on for dear life, it looks really cute of him with his arms all wrapped around Joshs neck!

That is an awesome attempt and a great deal of dedication for a tree pic. I would have given up on the pic long before. Great perseverance!! By the way...is Josh wearing a camo hat? Did he just get back from hunting? :-)

that kid can run into walls and be ok. but a tree..... not so much. i love how he can just turn his smile on and off. and i love that it's an actual smile. tell him it's getting him ready for the summer and the rides on the boardwalk
