The most beautiful present / Najlepši poklon

For V's birthday (that was back in winter) we got a nice amount of money from his aunt N and uncle V who live in Moscow, to buy him a nice present. We wanted to use the money for something really special, but at the time we did not know what that would be. So we saved the money, until, hm, summer. When we came to our summer-house, we knew what we would spend the money on. 

Za V-ov rođendan (koji je bio u januaru) dobili smo lepu sumu novca od tetke N i teče V iz Moskve da mu kupimo neki lep poklon. Želeli smo da potrošimo novac na nešto zaista posebno, ali tada nismo znali šta bi to moglo biti, tako da smo novac sačuvali do, eto, leta. 

Kad smo došli na vikendicu shvatili smo šta možemo da kupimo od dobijenog novca.

Rope!

We went to a nautical supplies store and bought more than 100 metres of synthetic rope (that doesn't rot from moisture) of different diameters, some nails, screws, steel cable and carabineers. 

Kanap!

Otišli smo na buvljak i radnju nautičke opreme i kupili više od 100 metara sintetičkog kanapa (koji ne truli) različite debljine, zatim eksere, šrafove, čeličnu sajlu i karabinjere.

And then, papa V spent some days making the most beautiful 'toys' for V to play and - climb!

A zatim je tata V proveo nekoliko dana praveći najlepše 'igračke' za V-a da se igra i - penje!

This is one of them - a rope ladder, that can be used for climbing and swinging. It is actually not easy at all to climb this ladder and it requires a lot of practice to master the skill! Just perfect for a boy who loves climbing.

Ovo je jedna od njih - merdevine koje mogu služiti za penjanje ili ljuljanje. Penjanje uz njih je prilično teško i zahteva dosta vežbe kako bi se savladala veština. Pravi izazov za dečaka koji voli da se penje!
