A Perfect Autumn Day

 

In spite of an all-hands family cold, we enjoyed very much a perfect northwest autumn day. While Dwayne watched over a sleeping Wesley inside (while trying out the controls on the new Halo game), the girls came outside with me to help rake leaves.  At least Piper did.  Kyla pouted in the swing bench because she wanted to use the rake Piper was using, not any of the other four rakes we had.  Okay, so it was a mostly perfect day.  (And did I mention she has a cold?)

Piper knew exactly what to do with the pile of leaves.  Here’s the run up….

And the landing!

Kyla cheers up and decides to join us.

She sticks the landing.

Ta-da!

I showed the girls the ropes.  The ropes we had from the old tire swing, and how to swing on them and land in the pile of leaves.
