Batman

There is nothing like sitting on the back porch watching a 7 year-old with a buzz cut swing back and forth on a rope hanging from a tree as his batman cape trails behind him in the wind.

He only stopped long enough to say, "Dad! Watch this!" as he climbed much too high for his Mom to see before swinging away on his rope. Or, to ask if it looked "cool" when his cape "does like this" (he held it out behind him).

I never felt so jolly in my life. I laughed and laughed. I was watching a comic strip come to life.

Psst... Hey, Poppy: The treehouse is working. ;-)
