Tunnel of Terror

Today and all evening Paige and Cason were playing especially well together.  They ran around the house together, being really cute and creative.  The last thing they did together tonight was make an "amusement park".  It was really just one ride, a scary one.  The only scary rides they've been on are the ones at Disney Land, so I was seriously impressed by the one they made.  They built a long narrow fort, by putting a quilt over two rows of chairs.  We didn't know what they were doing until it was all ready for us to take the ride, so they did it all completely on their own.

The first time through blew my mind.  They set themselves up kind of inside the blanket, but behind the chairs, Paige on the left side, Cason on the right.  There was a "spider attack"(a black toy on a string, that they dropped near us along with a scary sound), a "scissor attack"(Cason stuck his hand through one of the chairs, scaring you with "scissors" and making a really good sound effect to go along with that), a "ghost attack" (a pillow case on a string that Paige dropped down near me), and at the end, a "dinosaur attack", which was just the head of the Rock'n'Roar Dinosaur being rolled toward me.  Cason also had a little flashlight he flashed on and off at the perfect moments. They both were seriously SO good with the sound effects, it was almost actually kind of scary. 

I wish it had been in the day time, so I'd have been able to get decent pictures or video of it, but the audio is pretty entertaining on it's own.  It was my second time through though, and they knew I was filming, so it wasn't quite the same, and Caso left out the "scissor attack", but oh well, still fun to listen to.  Paige accidentally drops her ghost at the end and is obviously disappointed.  Ha.


I love our creative, hilarious kids.
