What brothers are for

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather that we are having, Chance got to spend the day at the park with siblings and friends from out of town.

It was a big park and Chance enjoyed being able to explore the area and took a walk around a little pond looking for fish and other critters that may live there.

Next to the pond was a good sized hill, and as every kid instictively knows, if there is a hill, you should somersault down it as fast as you can go. Chance's brother led the way, veering off to the right a little, but all in all, he made a successful run down the hill going end over end. Chance watched his brother, and then began his own descent down the hill. His dad and I sat watching at the bottom of the hill, remembering back to days of yore when we too looked at a hill and our first thought was to fling our bodies down the hill end over end.

As Chance began his descent veering slightly to the right, his dad turned to me and said, "His implants are going to pop off." As if on cue, we watched as Chance, stopped mid roll and headed back up the hill, his nose in the grass looking for his implant. We were just getting ready to call out to Chance to tell him to put his implants in his pocket until he was at the bottom of the hill, when Chance's brother appeared at his side. He held out his hands for the implants and Chance handed them over to him. Chance's brother then ran with the implants to the bottom of the hill where Chance was successfully reunited with them when his run was over.
Thank goodness for brothers. What would we do with out them?
