Wow! I just GOTTA' know - did his parents have a major freak out when they got home and saw the new renovation the boy(s) made to their house? lol Golly day, I don't know what my reaction would be to come home to that. No way I'd get on a contraption like that, but they sure used some solid skills in the construction of it - and it looked like they were having an absolute blast. Poo on the neighbors - at least those kids were doing something constructive and recreational with their time ... think of the alternatives. Anyway - if you find out what the parental reaction was, I'd just love to know. I saw the video on my MSN homepage. Wow!

It was just originally something they came up with together and being that Ron wants to get into the film business they recorded it. Originally my other cousin who is a cop was sent over to see what the heck they were building. At the time it was not even half the height so no one thought it would be too dangerous ;). He was on CNN Headline news this weekend. Don’t think there is a homepage for Ron yet (he is my cousin from Illinois), however; the story is true.

On the one hand I would get so angry if I had a kid and he did that because he's risking life and limb. On the other hand I'd be happy that he's at least learning something in school and not falling asleep! Ha that was (as other people said) pretty impressive.

Ahh.. to be young and invincible again :P Wow, that was pretty impressive.. at least the kids were using math and physics :o

That's absolutely HYSTERICAL! (Shhh! It looks like so much fun - don't tell my kids I said it's hysterical <em>or</em> looks like fun, k??) I totally missed the part where you said that it was a KIDDIE pool, so upon watching the first boy go down, I freaked OUT when I saw what he was going to be landing in! LOL! My darn brothers used to jump off my parent's roof into our in-ground pool! In fact, this summer, when I was in Dallas visiting, my <em>darn</em> brother was conniving to take my own boys (12 & 13) up there with him and show them how to do it! My mom and I got wind of it and gave him our typical flabbergasted-woman-nagging and he hushed up about it. Only - then he disappeared, next thing we know, there he is on the corner of the roof, about to jump, telling my boys, "Now, boys, when you get right here, you need to..da da da..." Mother and I again hollered, and he proceeded to jump right in the pool - in front of Mom. Kind of an odd moment - a totally forbidden behavior carried out deliberately with your mama watching! My brother is an accomplished veterinarian, 39 years old, and still just that sweet, crazy boy that has always been my big brother! I'm off to peruse the net and see what I can find on these crazy 'Kiddie Pool Boys'!! OMG!!! That’s absolutely HYSTERICAL! (Shhh! It looks like so much fun – don’t tell my kids I said it’s hysterical or looks like fun, k??)
