Yesterday, Steph and I (with Dylan and Marina) went to get more shavings. I warned Steph of the mountain of shavings that awaited us at the lumber mill, and how her kids should probably take off their shoes to prevent shavings from getting all over their socks and in their shoes.
They followed this advice . . . but then proceeded to lie down and cover themselves in the shavings. As Steph and I worked filling bags, we'd look up and see the kids running along the top ridge of Mt. Shavings. Occasionally, we'd see them leap off the back side and disappear, filling the air with squeals of delight.
With the heat of the day and all the running around, they got quite sweaty. They eventually went home and showered to remove all the little particles of sawdust from their hair and everywhere else.
Ah, to be a child . . .
