    Either way, I think little Timmy is a winner! Great take and he certainly "got some air" on that one! :O)

    Great response to the prompt! As a child during field days, my high jumps were not very high and my broad jumps not so broad!

    I think this young man might want to consider a career in professional dancing, he is oh so graceful.

    Loved it! You want to know something? I didn't even notice the yellow tape until you mentioned it!
