Painful Fun

I realize the title sounds like a contradiction, but I think Jason just proved it true at the corn maze. You see, my husband asked me to race with him in the inflatable obstacle course. I told him that I'm too old which implies that he is too old also. Anyway, since I wouldn't race him, he challenged Ethan who readily accepted. The following pictures were taken as they made their way through the obstacles.

Now you might think those are Jason's legs, but he's not that flexible, and if you look closely, you'll see Ethan at the bottom of the picture.

Notice the huge smile on Jason's face. He was having so much fun and was far enough ahead of Ethan that he had time to pull his socks up before ascending the "rock wall."

Here comes Ethan! Hurry, Jason! You're going to get beat!

Oh no, now they're neck and... well, chest!

After the "rock wall" is the slide down to the ground and the finish. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of them sliding down, but this is what I did capture on film-Jason with a sprained ankle! Yes, I still think he is too old, but he just tells me, "Next time, I won't slide down sideways."

I wonder if he just wanted some more attention from me because it certainly feels like it. From making sure he takes his pain pills to icing and wrapping his foot, I have been paying more attention to him. So I guess it worked! Although, he is still recuperating from his painful fun!
