You sure have athletic sons. How they are focused and concentrated on making their intricate jumps and loops. Looks scary to me. The last one seems to be landing on his chest. Good and original pictures. From Felisol
Those are awesome photos. They're brave... I would be too scared to try to flip like that. Love that the moon looks as though it is being jumped over. Good catch!
Oh! Thank you, Marcia. Now my children will ask for the same. No way we get it here, in Paris! If they insist, I 'll "send" them to you! You'll see how they're hard to convince! ; ) Nice pictures. I know it wasn't certainly so easy to get them clear!
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons! ************ "Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are." **************

************ "Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired." - George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

Great catch! Good thing you pointed it out, or I might not have noticed the tiny moon under his foot.
The disappearing legs do look very odd! Come and see my odd shot.

Forgot to say about the moon . . . he could almost say "one small step for. . . " That moon shot is great!
Marcia I love the up in the air shot. How nice that they wore their red shirts! :0)
What a fun time they had! I am always afraid to jump up and down the trampoline...
My Ruby Tuesday photo is now posted, too! Hope you can hop by my entry if you have the time. Thanks!

Did the dish run away with spoon?
Crop that last one just right and you've got a superhero frame!
Great shots for a flying Ruby Tuesday.
I love the first one. Looks like he really is about to squish the moon under his foot! Happy Ruby Tuesday.
Oh, wow! Awesome photos with a touch of red.

Kids at play look great in red! And this goes for kids of all ages, including yours!
Too bad trampoline isn't an Olympic sport. Yous would take Gold-Silver!
All I could think of was Ouch! I don't know why.
Nice red action photos Marcia!! I know for sure, both my kids will go wild on that!! :P
Those are awesome photos. They're brave... I would be too scared to try to flip like that. Love that the moon looks as though it is being jumped over. Good catch!
