Luckily, we ran out of balls about the time that Dad came to the rescue, so they had to think up something else. How about a long pole and ladder? Now there is a good use of your noggin.
Hurray! The return to earth of ball one. You can see the red ball still trapped up there. The wind finally blew it down. LOL!
My 4 year old came to get me so I could take photos! She said it was a blogging moment, and I would want to put it on my blog. LOL Now there is a girl after my own heart!
Back to the "how high can you throw the ball" game. Perhaps they learned to play a little farther away from the tree, but I wouldn't count on it.
Blessings, Dawn
This same thing happened at a potluck my husband and I went to when he was in college.....only with grown men trying to get the balls down by throwing other balls. In the end I think there were 4 that got stuck that nobody could get :P

Glad you got the balls back. Aren't balls one of the greatest inventions ever?! Hours of fun right there.
That is to funny-- a blogging moment. My son does that to me, "You need to get a picture of this for Show and Tell." Good luck on getting the kids to play away from the tree.

my own kids have fed many a tree and our huge redtips more balls, planes, and other misc. objects including 2 hula hoops, than I can remember. I can so relate. Glad someone documented this strange childhood phenomenon. LOL
