Tunnel Time

After a hard day of working in the yard yesterday, Evan was looking for something else to occupy his afternoon.  He remembered that we have a tent/tunnel from Grandma and decided it would be perfect.  How he remembered we had it, I don't know - he was just standing there and announced, "Want tent, mommy!"

The tent is a little muddy from it's time spent at Evan's birthday party, but the tunnel would be a good size to come in the living room.  Oh, what fun!  We were both in stitches as Evan tried to wear the tunnel and walk around it in - see the video.  He couldn't keep it's spring-loaded self from popping up over his head, which was hilarious.  Listen to him talking to the dog (who wanted nothing to do with the tunnel), "Ernie, look!" 

We finally talked him into crawling through the tunnel on the ground, which was fun too.  He spent some time in the tunnel with his favorite friends (Curious George and Grover), and we practiced his accuracy skills by throwing a ball through the tunnel. 

I love this shot - rumor has it mommy was featured on the cover of the Racine YMCA's preschool brochure back around 1982, crawling through a very similar tunnel.

It's no rumor, Mom, and you were as cute as can be too!
