At our last visit to Granny and Granpa's house a family reunion took place. Ever since childhood when all the cousins got together something fun happened. Back in the days when the electric fences weren't up all over the place, and the old datsun and bug could still be revived we had some grand fun playing different variations of car chase, car tag, hide and go seek, joy riding, etc. Now we're a bit more grown up and half of us have little ones on our heels so car chase was not resurected, but when Joshua (5) asked Uncle Charlie to help him build a catapult, he got the whole crew working and a trebuchet that could fling a watermelon ~ 50 feet.
Here's a link to Daniel's animation of it in action
