Climber at heart

A couple months ago Sam figured out that trees are fun to climb. He uses a plastic rocking horse to get up to the first branch and then he pulls himself up and has a path up the tree and a path back down. Now he has started hanging from the lowest branch and dropping to the ground. Last week he was playing in the backyard and the puppies were in the kennel. I could hear him doing his whine-cry that he does when the dogs are playing with him and they usually have knocked him on the ground and are licking him. I asked Austin to go put the dogs back in the kennel, assuming that Sam had let the dogs out. Austin went out and came back in to let me know that Sam hadn't in fact let the dogs out, he was in the kennel with the dogs. Well Sam can't open the kennel door, so..... there was only one way he was able to get in the kennel with the dogs. Yep, he scaled the 6' tall fence and down the other side. The puppies were very happy to have their friend with them; however, I think Sam soon realized that it wasn't such a great idea.
The look of a very unhappy Sam.
He opted to take matters into his own hands and not wait for me to get done taking pictures and climbed back out.
