Afternoon fun with Nana

This afternoon my mom came over to hang out with the kids and me.  We played outside on the swing set, the boys dug holes in the children’s garden, and everyone took turns on the tire swing.  Then our friends went home and Nana had a brilliant idea: an evening kayak ride on our little pond!

 So the troopers: Jeremiah and Nana, set off; I followed with my camera. It’s chilly here so I am very proud of both of them for their enthusiasm. Here they are:

I love the picture below because of the reflection of the leaves in the water and the little wake that mom has created with her paddling strength.

It’s so awesome that Jeremiah gets to grow up close to nature.

    That 2nd picture is lovely. The golden fall colors reflecting in the water is truly spectacular. It must be wonderful to live in a place with such “distinct” seasons.

    In Arizona, we really only have two “seasons” – (1) hot and dry and (2) cooler and dry. ;) I’m not complaining though. I love it here in the desert.
