Fall Together


Our last weekend up at the cabin was quiet and relaxing....

besides Twister,...


...our kids raked...

and raked...

...and raked.  I think it was in the 50's, but I guess raking really warms a person up!  I can't tell you what the black goo on the face did...but it definitely made them tougher.
Lily is always ready to join the fun!  Her raking, though, was....pathetic.

But she was very good at collecting fall treasures.

We made green play-dough and stuck them in.  It was something to do.

There was lots of time for study....

...and card games....

...and chatting around the table.

I love Fall weekends at the cabin.  The only problem with this one was....

poor little guy!
