I think it was Indie who was so high up.
At the risk of being a complete helicopter parent, it definitely wouldn't be something I'd allow my kid to do. The branches were pretty slim and if one did break at that height and she fell and hurt herself but didn't fall all the way down (doesn't even bear thinking about) - what exactly would he do?! I don't think the tree would have supported his weight all the way up. Nor the both of them back down if he had to carry her.
Ugh. Shuddering.
But no, he's tells us he's such a good parent who let's his kids be kids and they're grounded and connected to nature, so, what do I know.
Also, SO many questions implying his lack of ability to manage the kids he's already got - and no.4 on the way.
Good god.
