Default I Thought Flying Was For Birds & Insects...Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...

We had the pleasure of looking after 4 of our Grandchildren plus a little friend on Friday night, and I don't know who had the most fun, them or us. One thing I did learn was that children can also fly, even if it is only for a short distance, lol.

Awesome photos....I do have a question....what are they jumping off of? It looks like they are not on the trampoline, but closer to a house, etc....great action photos.

Thankyou Ella. They had got the ladder and gone onto the garage roof from where they launched into the air and landed on the trampoline. My heart was in my mouth as the younger of the boys is only 6 years old. They assured me they had done it many times before.

Thankyou for your comment, and yes, you are so right...the flight was from the garage onto the trampoline. Really adventurous little guys these two.

Awesome shots Pauline. Yes, one kinda freaks out a bit on the inside when the kids do stuff like this. Hope there were no broken arms or legs. TFS. Looks like they were having fun.

Yeah Pauline, but where did they fly to after they hit the trampoline. Looks to me like they should have ended up in next doors garden! PAUL

Thanks Steve. I think it brings back memories for most of us...even us dare-devil girls, when we were young.

Thankyou Paul. Oh they had such wonderful fun, while Nanna stood with heart in mouth, waiting for the crunch lol. They landed very discreetly, on the trampoline after there short flight.

Thankyou my friend. We cared for them at their own home Dave, as they have a huge section to run around in and there were 5 of them so we opted to mind them out there, in the country. Wonderful kids, wonderful surroundings, and a great time was had by all.

Dave.
