Chasing Daylight

We love to chase daylight - there is absolutely no better feeling in the world than to come home and enjoy the last few hours of daylight.  Dusk is one of the most beautiful times of the day during the spring/summer and it makes us feel like time stands still.  Dinner on the patio, sunshine for the soul - good times!

Monday night we soaked up the remaining sunshine and burned off some energy by playing "ready, get set, go" - a running game that Catherine Ellis has made up.  The girls get tickled chasing each other and it burns off those last few everlasting energy cells the girls are full of!  A win-win for all!

The photo below might be one of my favorite pictures ever - pretty sweet and captures the essence of the evening:

And no outside adventure is complete without these two dare-devils conspiring to do something crazy.  This particular evening it was Daddy hurdling Catherine Ellis - yep, we're that weirdo family leaping over kids in the front yard ... howdy neighbors:)
