Swamp People: The Perry Version

Our air conditioning upstairs is currently broken and we're waiting on a part that has been ordered to come in. In the meantime, its pretty unbearable to be upstairs for any length of time so the kids have to play downstairs. They are trying to come up with stuff to do that doesn't require everything from upstairs being brought down.

Today, Alex was watching Swamp People as he ate lunch and so the kids started watching too. Next thing I know, we have a Perry version of Swamp People going in the foyer. Alex got a few pictures of it for me.


They are using our rolling ottoman as a boat and pushing each other thru the swamp with toss pillow tied to string in various places to represent the baited lines and then ultimately their gators. They have toys guns to shoot them before they pull them onto the "boat".

Alex was pretty proud of his creative help with this adventure they had going today. I have to say it was a pretty good little set up they had going. It entertained them for some time too. Check Ashton's face out!! He looks like he's really checking the water for a gator to be on the other end of the line. Its great!

Here is Ashton trying to shoot and pull one in at the same time. It was cute. I'm sure there will be more episodes of Swamp People: The Perry Version to come! :-)
