Climbing Trees

The two mermaids came to spend the night at Monya's house last night. This morning they woke up long before noon and immediately went outside to play. Abby decided to climb the tree in the back yard. Until that point, it was just a normal day.

Suddenly, Monya heard screaming coming from the back yard. She hurried outside, and Abby began crying, "there's a raccoon in this tree...and he's looking at me!"

Monya managed to coax Abby down from the tree without furthur incident, but Abby seemed quite frightened by the experience. By the time I arrived at home, Abby was long gone, and the poor tired raccoon was sleeping peacefully in his perch.

The dozing interloper is just barely visible in this photo. He actually woke up and looked at me while I took this picture.

Weekend Visitors: Sunday

We had some more fun on Sunday. There was a fashion show, some more sidewalk art, and a tree climbing demonstration showing how to concentrate on keeping an apple in your teeth while climbing a monstrous Oak tree.

Weekend Visitors

On Saturday morning I arrived at the breakfast table to find someone was sitting in my chair, and eating my porridge.

Later, we had orange juice popcicles.

We played badminton and climbed trees.

We finished off the day by drawing lots of monster images on the sidewalk.
