Bri and Hunter, One Fall Day

Here's some of the fall fun we had last week.

The boots don't hamper Hunter from climbing
the ladder to Grandpa's car.

If you're going to slide into leaves, a little raking is
required first.

As an added touch, Hunter covers part of
the slide with leaves.

He buried his legs in leaves, then asked,'
"Did Evan do this?"  (i.e. "when he was here)

HUNTER HAS FOUND A CRICKET!!

Little cricket, do you want to play?

Little cricket, do you want to play on Grandpa's car?
(He climbed all the way up holding the cricket
delicately in one hand.)

Meanwhile, Bri was keeping toasty warm inside,
playing all kinds of imaginary things with her
airplanes and other toys.  These are talking
airplanes that can assume ANY character
(especially Cruella deVille and others from
101 Dalmatians).

Hunter comes in to warm up and joins right in.

It had been quite a while since we had pulled out
the Sit-and-Spins.  They were a big hit.  I tried to
persuade Hunter to ride with Bri like Jennifer and
Amanda once did, but No way, Jose. My idea is
that two kids may slow it down, but it balances
things so they don't fall off as quickly.  Of course,
falling off is half the fun.

We soon headed back outside, Hunter leading the way.
No cricket this time.

"I'm on the top of the WORLD!"

The windshield makes a mini-slide.  Hunter finds
it's harder to climb up in boots than it is to slide down.

 

Fall's not over, and I hope to spend a lot

more time outside on these glorious days

with these fabulous kids.
