The kids love to play "lava game" with their daddy.
They've been playing it since Samuel was born. I can remember it was then b/c Terry came back to the hospital one night and told me about the new game they had just made up.
Basically, the floor is lava. You can only go in the lava if you have your lava suit on. If you forget to put it on and go in, you die. But, you are always rescued by the other players. They haul you back up to the couch and do their healing thing which consists of, "bandaid, bandaid, medicine, medicine, medicine, tap, tap, tap." I have no idea what the tap, tap is, but it works for them!
Here is Evie jumping into the lava without her suit on while Noah tries to hold her back.
Here's dead Evie. She does a fantastic job. She goes so limp and it's really cute. Lately she's been "dying" at random times during the day expecting to be rescued by Noah. Except he lets out this very frustrated sigh and ARG, heals her and tells her not to do it again. Then she does it again. And he rescues her again.
Pulling her back to safety.

Then they switched "ships" and decided to play in the water together.
They have so much fun with daddy. And each other. Can't wait for Samuel to be big enough to join in.
Ha! When Micah was little he played a similar game with his siblings. You had to keep someone on the couch or they would perish. Mostly it was so the older siblings could lay on the couch and the younger ones would play the game.
