The Thursday Boys

[Zac]

[Campbell]

We have gotten into the routine of having two of Trip's friends, Zac and Campbell, over to play on Thursdays. Both boys are a year (plus) older than Trip and VERY adventurous. This has it's pros and cons, but I have loved seeing Trip try new things and take more risks.

As my first-born, Trip tends to be cautious until he is certain that he can accomplish the activity safely. Once he is confident, he is fairly adventuresome. These "big" friends of his just go for it!

The activity lately has been tree climbing. Zac has fallen out of a tree twice, and Campbell has cut his hand trying to tear off a tree branch. Neither shed a tear. I have a feeling that when Trip encounters his first tree-related injury, it will be a blog post of its own!

These boys make me smile. They keep me on my toes. And the definitely make me nervous!
