So my adventurous, always moving boy messed up his knee on the trampoline the other day. Which means he can't go adventuring in the woods, hunting for petrified pieces of timber. Nor can he resume the nightly game of Blind Man's Bluff on the trampoline. So how do we cater to his need for excitement, without physical exertion? We break out the stash of fireworks that Papa has laid by for just such a time as this.
The boy loves taking pictures of everything in the world around him with the handy dandy phone (no cell service) that his Papa handed down to him. I love taking pictures of the boy while he is taking pictures.
Like when he is getting a shot of the dragon that was supposed to be just a regular fizzy firework. Notice the defensive posture that all good photographers assume when shooting pictures of dragons. He's a natural.
Not one to hog all the firework fun, at least not when Papa is there to say, "Give everyone a turn at the fireworks, Matt," here is the younger brother firing off a Roman candle.
I love how cool this photo of big sister turned out.
I did some reading on hyperextended knee. It looks like the boy is through jumping for a couple of weeks at least. And the petrified wood is gonna have to wait as well. No fears though, that stuff weighs a TON so we know it isn't going anywhere while Matt recovers.
