Boys with Sticks

I'm not sure what it is about sticks and boys, but if they don't find and use one in some way throughout any given day they must not quite feel like a real boy or something. As we were out with neighbor friends yesterday, I noticed Jimmer playing with Accomplice 1 and Accomplice 2. They were tearing around our yard with the longest sticks they could find in our garage--hockey sticks. Mind you, they are 3, 4, and 5 years old (jacking up the safety risk significantly). Here they are in a huddle admiring the sticks.Here they are in action. (Sigh...)Amazingly, there were no major bumps or bruises!
