Today and tomorrow I am on vacation. It is nice to have a relaxing day at home to see what the family does while dad is away at work.
This morning Kathi was on the phone with a friend discussing the future of our backyard. The kids overheard her say that the swing set was going to go away. Shortly after they overheard this Brianna was at the table with a stick, some paper, tape, and a pen. A few minutes later I hear chanting in the backyard.
"SAVE OUR SWING SET! SAVE OUR SWING SET!"
Brianna had recruited Alex in the process. They both wore badges and held signs that read "Save our Swings".
I captured a couple photos and video before they knew I was there. As soon as they saw me they got louder and sillier. Owen thought it was a big game and was running around under thier legs jumping as if it was play time. I don't think he realized the seriousness of the kids conviction and love for the swingset.
The future of the swing set is in limbo. We'll see how far thier protest goes and if it sways the powers that be. Rumor has it they'll be recruiting the neighbor kids to join S.O.S.S.

Hahahahaha. Dang dude, your kids rock. That is complete and total awesome.
Here's an idea that might be entertaining and educational:
Craigslist it and split the proceeds with them. Money talks. After they are "bought off", point out to them that they "sold" their principles for "30 pieces of silver". Fun stuff!
seriously, brian, your kids are so dang creative and hilarious!
Dave, you are the coolest person I know.
