Off We Go

Before Emma took me for a "walk" around the neighborood, we went to the park. We go to the park a lot because it's close and a way of being outside without being at the splash pad or somewhere else where it would feel too cold this time of year. We're basically milking fall for all it's worth. And, actually, that's going quite well. It's been in the 70s and 80s lately!

On our way out the door, Emma wanted to hang out on the side of our house where, as you know, we have her slide and water table. We had been keeping her water table covered, but she thought maybe she'd give it a try anyway.

Then, as she always does when we're on the side of the house, she headed towards our tomatoes (slyly, if you can see that). One of her favorite things to do is pick tomatoes. While she knows to pick just the red ones, she likes picking so much that the occasional green one gets picked, too. She has some quick fingers, I tell you.

Tomato in hand, we then went inside, because we couldn't possibly turn down the chance to eat a fresh tomato.

Finally, off we go!
