Tree climbing

Joel is the best tree climber around. Really, I'm not exaggerating. He can shimmy up a tree in no time. We found out that there really is a reason why. Did you know that roughly the distance of your outstretched arms from finger tip to finger tip is roughly your height? Well, no so for Joel. His wingspan is almost 6 inches longer than his height. So not only is he incredibly strong but he also has long monkey arms. We've yet to see if the girls will inherit his uncanny climbing ability (or monkey arms!) but here is Tess learning how to climb a tree. (and Gracie relaxing in her swing!)
