I haven’t taken many pictures lately. I need to get out and about. Maybe sometime this week.
In lieu of the visual images, I will try to produce an equal product with mental images.
Location: Mom’s House
Time: Early Afternoon, following Easter celebration on Saturday
Credit my mom for trying, but hiding empty plastic eggs did not fool my nephews very long. Instead random self entertainment evolved. For clarification, this self entertainment is not referencing my toddler nephews, I am talking about my adult brothers finding a need to entertain themselves. When trying to get an egg stuck in the tree tired, Zach and Scott quickly saw a challenge to see if Zach could swing Scott like Zach had been doing recently with Bo.
You know the swinging; where Zach would hold Scott’s forearms and start spinning with the goal to lift Scott’s legs off the ground. Well, it was very unsuccessful. In fact, so unsuccessful it demanded a retry so that the image of failure was not the lasting image we, spectators, saw.
Round Two. I help call Abe and Bo away from the location and once Bo and Abe were secured, Zach tried to spin Scott again. Rev (Clay’s) son apparently wanted in on the action. As Zach’s back was turned to the “audience” he began the spin. At that exact moment Rev began the run. In slow motion, we all yelled “S-T-O-P” but before we could get it out of our mouths Scott’s heels and calfs made impact with little Rev’s legs. Believe me, the spinning/flying-kick-into-a-2-year-old image was pretty frightening, but luckily Rev survived. He came and saw me at work today and he had no problem running to and yelling for [uncle] “dwew“.
To help you visual, here is a picture of little Rev (with his daddy).
