It quickly became part of his personal arsenal: ![spinning[6]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cMLNQ7TEYUyznJhx8R7y_ocfbi54_u_IqGxwsbYtSacZSJ2SuM8cRNN-gLqlOHnS6Qj4M_6zG9T_Mls6k3A97QBTlk2f8rD7ADBUs4vbsfyGqgpRqp-0sF5Je9RipUsXcGtEAMSqanSO/s1600-h/spinning%25255B6%25255D%25255B4%25255D.gif "spinning[6]")
Be sure to picture in your mind the accompanying swooshing & shooting sounds he was making…
And after swapping out weapons, Little Dude did something that none of the dudes have done thus far:
He climbed up into the palms. 
He didn’t climb too high; they’re not that big. But they are a whole lot bigger than they were when we planted them ten years ago. Which made me flash back and then dig out some old pics of the “old days” …
And yes, those two cuties above are now … teenagers. And sadly, our grass is far from its glory days.
But this still remains: all good battles should end with yummy avocado, salted and eaten straight from its skin.

I love those boy battles and that everything becomes a enemy and a weapon :) So full of imagination!
I loved the flashbacks and the baby palms. :)
Oh, how I love boys and their imaginations! And what a great backyard, Susan! I can't believe he's the first to use those beautiful palms. :)
I think it's pretty obvious from the gif what happened to the lawn. Good trade off! And YES to avocado!
I had an avocado for lunch. I wish you could have been here to take a picture of me eating it.
JUST KIDDING! I would rather die than have my picture taken eating an avocado. Unless, you were positioned on a ladder 25 feet above me. I might look fair from that angle. Your little avocado eater is the cutest boy around.
I loved seeing the boys as tiny kids. They are so cute.
