Hammock

Last summer in Honduras we got Reese a hammock for the backyard.  We have been meaning to hang it up for him for quite some time but the weather really didn't permit until about 2 months ago.   For the first 2 months the hammock was a blast for the kids.  They loved to swing each other and try to flip each other completely around while "secured" in the netting.  Well you can imagine how long that was fun until there was an injury:/
Abby was the first victim and man did she get hurt!  Reese was swinging her like normal and before either of them could do anything Abby face planted into the ground!  Her face broke the fall...ouch!  She began screaming and I could tell that she was REALLY hurt!  Sweet girl busted her forehead, right ear, right shoulder and her arm.  When I asked Reese what happened he walked me through the whole incident and finished it up with, "Mom, I don't think Abby was quite secure enough!"  She needed a seatbelt!
Well I tell you all this to explain the picture Abby drew.  At school every now and again the kids make up safety tips to share with the kids in class.  This is the safety tip Abby thought everyone should know:)

ALWAYS BE SECURE IN A HAMMOCK!

Notice Abby on the ground, Reese is standing nearby and in the far left hand corner you can see my leg/foot running to her aid.
Too funny!
