[Image]  The kids like a good challenge, and I like getting them outside. So I told them, "Go build a bridge."

Fortunately it was a warmish day, because you might be able to guess how this challenge ended.

[Image]  Simple bridge.

[Image]  Bridge testing.

[Image]  Desert Girl not so sure, but the "big" kids ready to help.

[Image]  Twinkle toes made it!

[Image]  Ah, easy peasy.

[Image]  One bridge wasn't enough, so the kids moved on to make another bridge, near an irrigation diversion.

[Image]
[Image]  Well, now they've crossed two creeks and have to find a way back. They take their bridge building supplies with them.

[Image]  Henry isn't so sure a bridge is necessary.

But the kids try a new bridge-building technique.

[Image]  This almost worked. (Do you notice some wet pants?)

[Image]  A slightly different bridge system.

[Image]  The teamwork was great.

[Image]
[Image]  Just one more creek to go!

[Image]
[Image] Success! They all made it back, and only slightly wet.

We'll have to do this again when we find a warm day.

Where have you tried to make a bridge?
