The Old Oak Tree

In the front yard of my parent's house in Texas, there are a few fantastically beautiful oak trees.  They are perhaps 100 years old and 30-40 feet tall.  Like a picturesque children's book, one of them has a solid branch that bends down and touches the ground.  It is a perfect climbing tree.  It is a constant source of fun for our visits to grandma and grandpa.

This Christmas we were there at the same time as the Anderson's and the kids camped out around the old oak tree. Here's a shot of Noah and Jack playing up on one of the branches.
