A little child labor

Yesterday we went to the cottage to rake and winterize......... the children are thrilled when I announce we're going to Seneca in November............yeah, right.
BUT, it was a beautiful day, which softened the blow.
AND Pop let the kids play with the fire that was burning the leaves. Now THAT makes all the difference in the world. Raking was fun when they could rake the fire. What a grandfather.

This first picture is just for Suzie...... remind you of another photo??????


Lewie was in rare (ok, ok, his usual) form with his poses




and making everyone laugh


Frances was whining about going to Seneca until that fresh lake air hit her......


The girls kicked Goofy out of the picture......





No one enjoyed playing with the fire more than the Lawyer. It brought out her inner pyromaniac. In this shot she recreated the Santa Ana winds with her leaf blower. I was worried that someone was going to call 911. She generated a LOT of smoke. The kids loved it.

ok, i don't know what YOU were thinking of but I was referring to the photo of Meme winking w/ her spoons!

My YEAH BABY was for the Lawyer and her pyromanic activities! I didn't GET the winking photo (sorry!) - I thought it was a play on "American Gothic."
