Clarendon Day

We love living near the Clarendon neighborhood, especially during the annual celebration called Clarendon Day. It's a festival for adults and children alike, with plenty of food, vendors and games. Of course we headed straight over to the kid attractions (like we had a choice). First the kids spotted this climbing tower with each layer composed of flat bungee cords. Nate had no problem zipping to the top.

Surprisingly Sean had no trouble either, once he figured out a trick that worked for him. He couldn't pull himself up to each layer because he wasn't tall enough, but he could climb the outer mesh to scootch up to each layer. He climbed almost as high as Nate, stopping only because he wanted to dance to the great band playing at the end of the street.

Nate tried his hand at some more climbing, this time on a fake palm tree. Unfortunately he brought the wrong kind of shoes -- crocks -- and he couldn't get a good footing. Uh oh, better luck next year.
