Cold morning fun

These kids LOVE playing outside. Even now that the weather's started to get cool, they love putting on hats and mittens and running around the backyard. And of course, I love taking their pictures.

Faye runs through the back yard after her brother.









Then pauses for a quick photo op on the deck.










Here she is, Queen of the Mini-slide.










Lenny does get his chance on the mini-slide, too, though.






Faye goes down the big slide all by herself now!










Lenny and Faye actually do play together, although it's often at such high velocity that it's hard to capture them at it. Here they are inspecting the rocks around the apple tree in our back yard.



Lenny marvels at the amazing stick he's found (probably the 15th one he's picked up that morning) . . .








while Faye studies the gravel around the tree in depth.
