fresh air

With cold weather knocking on our door we have been getting outdoors as often as possible on the weekend when we are all together.

Yesterday we went for a hike to doughnut falls.

every time we got close to the river edge Kendall had to stop and touch it to see if it was still cold.

Labor day we went for a walk around Silver Lake.

about 10seconds after this photo was taken that cookie got tossed to a duck. I think she was secretly planning it (that might be what that mischievous grin is for)

we love having Mima and Pa-pa so close they are up for most anything we plan at the last minute.

The weather was so great that day we never planned on bringing long pants or jackets for the kids. When they got a little chilly they both shared Mima's jacket.
