This is actually pretty easy with Photoshop Elements.

In this particular case, I'd open of the first photo and use that as
my background layer.  Then I'd open up the second, and select the boy
and a good area around it.  Copy it into the clipboard and then paste
it into a new layer on the first photo.  Change transparancy to 50%
and move it around till it is in the position you want.  Now you
change the transparency back to 100% opacity and start erasing
anything that doesn't look like a kid.  When erasing, I tend to use
my Wacom Pen to feather the edges a bit to hide where the transition
is.  BTW, make sure you lock the bottom layer for editing--you don't
want to be accidently moving or erasing that layer.

Once you've gotten it the way you want, just flatten the image and
save.

This looks about a 10 minute job at most.
