Movies and tree climbing at the park

Sandy City (along with quite a few cities in the Salt Lake area) put on movies in the park over the summer.  We went to The Muppets at Flat Iron Park.  It turned out our neighbors who have a boy Spencer's age also came so we ended up sitting with them to watch the movie.  But we had showed up an hour before the movie so the kids could play at the playground.  Some kids were climbing the tree right next to the swingset and my kids were very intrigued by this.  I realized my kids have never climbed a tree.  They liked hanging on the lower branch and swinging around.  Then they climbed up on the lowest branch and were very proud of themselves.  But they didn't dare try going any higher.  So I climbed up a bit higher to a nice place to sit.  After I went that far Tessa shot right up the tree.  She also had no problem getting back down.  Then Spencer cautiously made his way up to the same spot and carefully came back down with me spotting him.

When it got dark (around 9:00) the movie started on a large inflatable movie screen.  The kids had seen the movie with Brodie back when it was in the theatre but this was my first time watching it.  It was quite entertaining.  Brodie stayed home with Clara as we didn't get home until close to eleven.  Here's a picture of Spencer with his friend before the movie started.
