    looks like that scene from the Sound of Music, minus the guitar slinging nanny…

  2. tammy says:

    Awesome photo!!! Is there moss on the tree’s in Texas.

    I remember the tree’s in Fla with all the moss.

  3. Keyona says:

    Scary…for moms at least.

  4. Kate says:

    That looks like a great climbing tree!

  5. jodi says:

    What is it about children and trees? Such joy. Our boys used to climb to the top of the white pines in our yard (at least 3 stories high). I learned not to look.

  6. Nicki says:

    Shorts…. they are wearing shorts. I’m so jealous! It dropped below 25 again last night in Jersey. With a high of 46. yes, I am definitely jealous!!

  7. The Modern Mom says:

    What a great tree - perfect for climbing!

  8. Kaje says:

    Shorts in March? I am so jealous! Kaje

  9. Sue @ My Party of 6 says:

    That is an awesome tree. And yes, send a little of that weather northeast!!

  10. Futureblackmail says:

    What an awesome tree! Looks a lot better in the picture than in front of my 6 year old! :)

  11. suburbancorrespondent says:

    What do you call those green things on the trees again?

  12. kilburina says:

    Lovely tree. I wish I was up a tree wearing shorts and a t-shirt. And maybe eating an apple.

    Great photo!

  13. Beth says:

    Reminds me of the book “The Tree That Would Not Die”–which, happens to take place in Texas!

  14. Mara says:

    Now that looks like the Texas I know.

  15. Spinner says:

    Those live oak trees are good for climbing. However, we are being buried under their tiny little leaves right now. We have a huge one in our front yard. I think at one time someone had put a Halloween decoration in a knot hole. The hole has subsequently closed around it. Now it is a small greenish hand with black fingernails sticking out of the side of my tree. It’s a great conversation piece.

  16. Erin says:

    Perfect for climbing! Mine are climbers, too- hands down the best thing about childhood, after Christmas of course.

  17. Sarah @ BecomingSarah.com says:

    What a beautiful photograph! It makes me miss my own childhood just a little bit.

  18. Katie in MA says:

    Wow! I used to love climbing trees! Sadly, I have faux baby trees in my subdivision. Snappy little saplings aren’t so great for climbing. (Momma Mockingbird isn’t so happy with the girlies trying, either.) Wonder if I still have it in me?

  19. Mama Bear says:

    There are leaves on your trees… we have a blizzard in part of my state, and a flood in the other. I’ll take the leaves, please.

  20. justagirl says:

    just don’t park near it.

    Chris says: I think I learned my lesson on that one!

  21. lizinsumner says:

    Well, I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but that makes me nervous, because it looks like a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen. I hope they both got down in one piece!

  22. Barb says:

    Glad to see your boys found some trees to climb. Very cool!

  23. NoMasNinos says:

    Cool Tree! If they liked that one, the one in the park behind Central Market on Lamar is Awesome!

  24. Jacki says:

    Beautiful tree, I’m a little scared we are looking at another set of ER copay’s in your future though :)

  25. maggie madison says:

    love this! But question: did they go higher or lower from here?

  26. audrey says:

    I just wanted to welcome you to Texas! I have been reading your blog for about 3+ years and have NEVER commented. But being as you are now in Austin and I live in the Houston area, we are practically neighbors! I found your blog by googling blogs of large families. (We have 4 and would love more) Anyway, hope you enjoy it here!
