Adventure In Our Own Yard

What WONDERFUL weather we've been having! We've been playing outside as much as possible this week and today the kids were creating their own games and I just HAD to take some video to share. They decided to do some rock climbing with a tie down strap they found in the garage. The hooked it to their dad's BRAND NEW car : ) (good thing it's a company car!)


Only Amanda could go rock climbing in high healed shoes. My little girl loves to play outside and get dirty, she just wants to play with style!

Then one more video from this weekend... we had the BIGGEST pile of leaves EVER then once we were all done playing, Eric and the kids moved the piles (one wheelbarrow ride at a time) to the garden where we chopped them up for mulch.

Here are the kids "helping dad" by holding the leaves down as he pushes the wheel barrow to the garden. You don't see this kind of selfless servitude these days!

I think the dogs had as much fun as the kids did! Amanda had a ball burying Casey in the pile.Logan is trying to make a leaf cave by excavating. As you can imagine, his plan was short lived. After that he decided to build leaf walls... much more stable (until the dogs jumped into the pile!). : )
