Family Treasures

We've been lucky to have a lot of family time lately.  My Grandpa Moore, who is widowed, recently moved into an assisted living facility. My two aunts and I have been working on sorting family memories and belongings at his house.  I go at least once a week and this week we were also able to make time for our whole family to go on Sunday.

While the aunties and I worked our way around basement Travis did a basic home inspection and flexed his muscles toting and carrying the heavy stuff out of the basement for us.  FFM and his cousin Skylar washed ancient and dusty toy treasures for a while but before long the warm autumnal breezes beckoned them to the great outdoors and we found them crunching leaves in the backyard.  The resourceful duo found a couple of rakes in the garage and made a leaf pile and were merrily jumping and burying each other.

The kids took the last two pictures, for a while my phone was buried in the leaf pile along with the kiddos.

I see now that they were snacking during the leaf excitement   FFM is covered in chocolate and Skylar has a packet of pretzel chips.  There might be some well fed squirrels in that backyard today, I'm not sure all those snacks made it back inside!
