Hands Up, Stand Up

After the Saturday morning mowing, weeding and trimming was finished for the day, the neighborhood kids started an impromptu game of "Hands Up, Stand Up" on our front lawn. The rules are simple—see who can do the longest handstand. The one who falls first, is out. You continue this until there is a victor. At one point, there were eleven people playing. I even took a stab at it. The photos below show just how ridiculous this game must have looked to passers-by.

We're pretty lucky to live in such a great neighborhood. And we're even luckier that our kids have so many great neighborhood friends.


Christian's been ready for summer to begin for a long time. Bring it on!

Man everyone's yards look fantastic.
That's amazing.
Look at your grass.
I forget what living in a house is like!!
Maybe one day we'll have it again.
For now I'll just have to look at these wonderful photo's and reminisce about what used to be LOL ;)

What a fun game! I remember playing that game in tumbling class. Next time you play you must invite me. I want to see if I can still do it. :0) I used to win all the time in tumbling class.
