We had several very tall pine trees by our house. One of our favorite things to do was to climb to the very top and sway them trying to tag whoever was in the neighboring tree. My mother averted her eyes, lol.

I thought that was an adorable video. Even the baby got involved. Sure, someone might break a bone, or remove some skin from some body part, but what fun they can have in that one room. I do hope, however, that the furniture they were climbing on is securely bolted to the walls.
My son would have hated it.
However, my brothers and I would have loved it. We were like 7 little monkeys, and mom could not keep us from climbing trees, or walking along the top of fences. And yes, we suffered numerous broken bones and other injuries, but we had so much fun.
We built a three-story treehouse in our back yard, complete with living room furniture. The fire department made us take it down because they said it was unsafe. Ticked us off!
I remember spending days in a cherry tree, climbing to the top and out on every limb to get that yummy fruit. Fortunately for our mom, we were in the yard of a women who lived around the corner, and down the street... mom could not see us (but she knew what we were doing because we brought bushels of cherries home.)
