This is Man on a Wire by Isaac.  Has anyone else seen that documentary?  It’s fascinating.  This French dude broke through all the security in the newly constructed twin towers back in the 70′s, strung a cable across the roofs and then spent 45 minutes walking around on it.  Who does that sort of thing?  And gets a team of people to help?  Craaaaazay!

This is my oldest and my youngest running to the exit after they rode on a ride at the country fair at their grandparent’s home in western Kansas.

They are eleven years apart in age, but they chose to be ride buddies at the fair because he doesn’t get motion sickness and want to puke on his sister after she drags him on a ride that spins you around and upside down like his 14 year old brother does.

The Youngest

He’s got this trick where he can hang from an invisible rope.
