It seems that Reece has transitional phases like that of the moon or maybe more like the coming of Haley's comet. He will be sooo obsessed with a certain toy( ex: star wars or Transformers) then he won't touch the toy for months, while a different favorite takes it's place. Only to have the comet return months later and those toys are again dug out from under the bed or off shelves. As you can see, we are in the Indiana Jones phase. Yes, I know, his birthday was actually 3 months ago, we're top notch parents. 
Rick and I paired off to both create a cool game for the kids. Mine was the Tunnel of Doom, made from 4 giant refrigerator boxes, snakes, a strobe light, and a brown spray painted styrofoam cooler filled with spiders, candy and gold.
The line awaiting certain doom, but apparently doom =boredom in Adeline's world and excitement for Jake
Rick's game was a little more complex. Actually he spent the better part of a day, rigging, building, and using physics to create Indiana's dangerous route back out of the temple holding the golden idol, while being chased by the giant boulder. The boulder was a 60 inch beach ball spray painted black and red and the idol was a glass head from Pier One Imports. The line for the adventure begins
Indiana Emma wearing the hat, jumps over the fences with poisoned tips, grabs, the idol and makes it back before the ball knocks her down or the bag of "rocks" came down a zip line to take her down sideways.
The temple of Akator and the cake of doom, complete with crushed

Happy Birthday Reece, next year just realize, you'll be lucky if we even buy you a balloon, let alone recreate a jungle in our backyard. But, you are soo worth it, little guy. Anything for my only son and sweet boy

Wow - this is better than you even described it. So impressed. Wish we could have been there. Where are you keeping the 4 refrigerators you bought?
