Tether ball the Erickson way

Eli's parents have a tether ball set. We like to play but our way, everyone stands way from the pole and then Eli spins the ball and everyone has to get on the tire before the ball wraps all the way around the pole.
And then we do it in reverse to get off the tire. This way its a lot more fare for those of us who are vertically challenged. It also is hilarious to watch Eli and the girls play.:)
