So the girls and I decided to throw a frisbee in the backyard of Poppi and Grammy's house. There are two chain link fences on either side of the yard and a tall wooden fence with two planks running side to side along it. Riley threw the frisbee over the chain link fence a few times and Madi retrieved it. Then she threw it up and over the wooden fence. There was no way we could completely climb the fence because there weren't planks running side to side on the other side of the fence. And I know this because I climbed up on the planks on the fence to look over. Then Madi climbed up to see. We could tell there was an alley leading to it. So we ventured down the street to see how we could get there. Once we came to the end of the alley, we saw how much brush and sunflowers and overgrown weeds there were and decided to go back home.
Once home, I suggested using yarn and something at the end to hook the frisbee. Madi thought of the hook from the Tinkertoy set so we got it all ready and thought it would be fun to see if we could get it. Madi tried many times, but with the wind and how far from the fence the frisbee was, it wasn't working. So then I tried. Since Madi was still holding the yarn, I couldn't get it close enough so I asked her to let go of the yarn. Then forgot I had asked her to let go of the yarn. And flung the yarn and the hook over the fence right next to the frisbee.
So off we went back down the path again to the alley way. There was enough of a clearing on the side of the chainlink fence side and at one point, she even climbed sideways along the fence to get over some brush (and past what she said was a rustling in the brush - probably the bunny we had recently seen?! Hopefully!). She rescued the frisbee and the yarn/hook and came back. In the meantime, Riley had to go to the bathroom and as we were not close enough to the house, I just had her go back in the brush. Fun times, right! :)
We went home feeling very victorious and happy. Quite the adventure.
