Selecting the perfect hunk of wood to be yours is a delicate process that the girls took very seriously.

How proud we are of our...easily amused children and their pieces of wood.

But look how cute they are!

A sign of intelligence!!

...nevermind.

The bond between a girl and her block of wood...well...there is no equal love.

And don't forget the twigs (or as the girls call them "ranks")

The girls, their ranks, and their beloved blocks of wood.

Ok strike that. The girls, their ranks, their beloved blocks of wood, and some branches.

A silly joke between the three girls.

And then war breaks lose! It's every woman for herself!

A general swordfight has emerged.

Nicky performs the dance of the branch and ranks...and wood blocks. Liz practices her swordfighting skills. Sam watches.

Now thats cute!

Some teens experiment with "grass" and "weed" at this age. Our girls...well they just play with it.
