in the leaves

daddy made a big pile of leaves for the kids the other day.
townsend immediately forgo sliding in order to jump right in.
marin took it slow. sliding first.
"come on, marin. stand up and jump like a big kid!"
"hmmmm. ok. now what do i do again?"
"arms up?"
"or maybe i'll just slide. after all, i am the baby in the family."
"watch me, marin. get your arms up realllllllly high!"
"oh! i get it. my arms were obviously not up high enough last time. how does this look?"
" see everyone! my arms are perfectly positioned to fly off the slide into the leaves!"
"wait! did mommy just say snacktime? coming mommy!"
