The untethered Giant

Who doesn't love a good game of tetherball?

It's man vs. a speeding inanimate object that can't taunt you, but can bring real pain.

The Giant brought serious game to his first run-in with the Ball. Who wins? You'll have to watch (and I know you will).

The Giant of Vulture Valley

2.5 miles west of U.S. Route 63 in Montezuma, Iowa lies Vulture Valley.

The pristine valley is inhabited by reclusive giants.

But one young, up-and-coming giant, Vondre the Giant, has made his presence known to these ancient low-land dwellers.

In a language known only to their species, the young giant gives fair warning that there's a new kid in the valley. We're not sure if the long-time inhabitants of the valley will respond to Vondre, or simply flee for their lives.

We'll keep you updated.

The sleepy giant

It was suppertime, and Vondre hadn't taken his customary noontime nap. He fought hard, and eventually fell to the enemy—sleep ... for 5 minutes. Then he got his second wind and tore it up the rest of the night.

But the next day sleep got the best of him, and he was pretty useless the whole day, but still cute as a button.

The Giant Ascends ... Descends

Vondre's getting very active ... running, climbing, scaring G'ma.

I helped him up and down his green slide a few times. Then he was a pro.

Reminded me of Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible (without the broken ankle).

The Giant loves to do things, then look to see who's paying attention to his daring feats. He always accepts roaring applause, and will usually join in the clapping.

The Roaming Giant

He's on the move! Every day he takes more and more steps. Vondre's trading in his 4-wheeler for a 2-wheeler.

Your ankles will soon be safe, but watch your knees. Once he gets his balance, he'll be coming for you ... with love of course.

He's so happy! And he turned 1 year old on August 25.

The Giant discovers 1st (and 2nd) gear

Vondre could only crawl in reverse for several weeks. This led to a very frustrated Giant.

Frustration be gone!

The Giant has mastered the art of the forward crawl.

Adults, guard your shins. There's plenty of horsepower in this four-wheeled juggernaut.

Ladies, it's all over. There's no where to hide, and even if there was the Giant would catch you before you got there.
