Life with Tim

Tim never ceases to amaze me. This past Sunday, Tim and Sophie went to the elementary school right next to our house to fly Sophie's kite. It was the perfect windy day and she was very excited. I stayed behind since Noah was napping (lucky me;)). About five minutes later (probably more like three), Sophie comes running home with Tim behind her saying her kite is stuck in a tree. Just as Tim was telling her to hold on tight and not let go, she literally let go of the kite and it went flying away and straight into a tree. 

Tim and Sophie decide to go back to the school and see what they could do to get it out. The following pictures tell the rest of the story.....Sophie came running back home and said, "MOMMY! Daddy got the bat, tennis racket, and kite all stuck in the tree! No more bat, no more racket, no more kite."

I simply couldn't believe what I had just heard, so I walked over with Noah to see for myself, with camera in hand. I don't think I could have gotten everything stuck if I had tried!
Here's the handle part of the kite that is left...the rest flew away:(
Here's the tennis racket, which we thankfully got down by throwing yet another bat up in the tree.
How he got a heavy slow-pitch bat stuck in a tree so perfectly, I have no idea. Thankfully, we managed to get this safely down as well without killing anybody!

This way to funny. So Timmy!

I love the comment about Tim being from Ohio and shouldn't he be a lumberjack of some sort! Please tell your friend Tim is from Northern Ohio - we fish and swim - no lumberjacks up North!
