Fall Fun-- and it ain't even Halloween yet!

This is the kind of fun we've been having 

around the Loyd place in the days leading

up to Halloween 2014.

Wood scrap becomes a welcome sign.

Hunter has rediscovered my old Civil War pistol.
It's a toy, but looks authentic.  Made by Kadets of
America after World War II.

He actually found both of my pistols. And they
double as pirate pistols, too.

Our new adventure is to take Judy's truck down to
the creek and waterfall.  And sometimes we're packin'.

Checking out a new bridge.  Cedar logs under it
should last a good while.

I guess Bri could be called an Eclectic Cowgirl.

Hunter likes to help the leaves fall.  In fact, all
of the grandkids do.

Would ya like to see some rootin' tootin' shootin'?

Better hoist up that gunbelt, ma'am.

Modern cowpokes are adept with lacrosse rackets
and hockey sticks.  Don't leave home without 'em.

Now it's Claire and Evan's turn to head to the "crick."

The long and winding road . . . .

I've heard of backseat drivers, but Evan . . . .

Well, when you look at me like that . . .
of course  you can have the keys!

Good thing nobody needs to walk up this ramp today.
It's been taken over by a barn raising.  Have you
ever seen a high-rise barn?  Not sure how Claire
got those horses up there.

Evan and Grandma are tuning up for basketball season.

When you need a break from construction, it's
handy to have monkey bars at hand.
(Please don't tell Granny and Granddaddy!)

Evan says he's Roy Rogers riding Trigger.

This must be Claire's favorite horse today.

This white oak tree fell two years ago.  I've trimmed
off some of the branches, but have left several main
parts of the trunk because it's great for low altitude
climbing and balancing.  They can also bounce on
the furthest extremities.  And hopefully never break
any of their own extremities!

So this is a sample of what we've been up

to lately.  And we'll never run out of ideas.
