Hippo rides

Hippo rides, or tiger rides as they are sometimes called, happen spontaneously in the Lovebo household, usually when the grumpy-grumps have erupted and need some physical outlet. It involves riding on mama's back as the tiger or hippo gets up, lopes around looking for water or food, and the boys try to stay on my back. The best part, of course, is getting thrown off the hippo, which is why we do hippo rides only in the upstairs playroom where there are lots of pillows on the floor along the walls.
