Climbing bushes

One of the kids' favorite activities in the back yard is climbing bushes (or "trees" as they sometimes refer to them).  There is line of large Amur Maple bushes that are probably 65 years old.  After cutting out a lot of dead stuff, there are a few nice branches for stepping on.  There is one in particular that is perfect for climbing.  The kids often fight over it and Lincoln sometimes has to be rescued from it.  Today Emily "moved in" with a variety of items from the tub of water toys.
