Indian Summer

I'm not sure if the weather we are seeing is technically an indian summer, but it was 90 degrees here yesterday (a new record). Just to hot to do anything except go to the local pond and relive summer!! So, after I picked the kids up, that is just what we did.
I briefly tried to knit on the Misty garden scarf which is nearly done:

But was quickly called into service as expert castle builder. I don't design 'em, I just build 'em! Here is Abby's fortress.

And PJ's.

We spent almost 2 hours. Then we took a quick hike to check on our letterbox that is planted here. Gathered a bunch of twigs, bark, and acorns which became boats (with a bunch of hot glue). All in all a wonderful day!
