November

Jessica took her ACT test one more time at UNCW.  The campus was very beautiful.

The boys made a leaf pile and Braden burrowed into it.  He wouldn't get out!

This lethal-looking glove is actually a prototype of Spencer's.  He is taking a design/engineer/problem solving class.  His problem: How can you make it easier to climb trees?  The solution: this handy super-grip glove.  (Though no one is allowed to wear it.)

Someday David is going to be this big!

Hannah is taking a ride on the tire/dirt-banked curve.  The boys built a big dirt track in the backyard.  It winds among the trees and has a couple hills and jumps.  They have a busy job keeping it leaf free though.

Katie has been working hard trying to get over this bump at top speeds.

Don't ride into the hole!

David is about to jump off this tree trunk.  The trunk was cut down a long time ago and has since served as one of the best seats at out camp fires.

Spencer and Gavin built this tree fort.  It's got a platform, a ladder, and a rope swing.  

It took a long time to get the rope right, but the ladder should be secure: climb at your own risk.
