Trike and Tractor Pull

Tonight the girls celebrated their last day of summer vacation (preschool starts tomorrow) with a trike and tractor pull.

First, they shined up their trikes (Kate's is more of a scooter).

Then it was time to hitch everything up. Emily's vision included pulling Kate on her scooter, but Mom said no way (thinking Kate's feet would get tangled up too easy). The Cozy Coupe was the next logical choice, but Kate refused to ride in it and Mom was too big. Emily hooked up her tow rope to it anyway.For some reason Emily really wanted to pull Mom's chair too, so she hooked that up to an auxiliary line.The chair proved to be a bad idea--it kept banging into Kate and slowing them down.So after some negotiation, they cut it loose.Now they were really making some progress!It's great to see the girls work together on something, even if it's just silly stuff.Okay, before we get a bunch of comments about how dangerous it is to play with rope, here's the disclaimer: They were highly supervised, and the rope was put away as soon as this game was over.It's nice to see the kids use their imaginations and have fun together!
