As summer has (sadly) drawn to a close, one thing our family will miss are our evening walks through the neighborhood. Taking a short stroll after dinner around 6:30 (it's dark at this time now!) routinely helped both tiring twin toddlers and their exhausted parents survive the last hour before bedtime.

| Luke & Clare take a moment to map out the night's route |
 |
| Surely there will be lots to see! |
 |
| The excitement will make it hard to keep our clothes on! |
 |
So, let's get a move on it...
 |
| ...and see what there is to explore on tonight's summer stroll! |

What have always seemed like such boring sidewalks to us are apparently filled with fascinating objects of wonder through the eyes of two year olds.

| Can I go for a ride?? |

Meanwhile Luke spotted this 'big sign' in someone's yard...

 |
| This odd protruding object was totally worth the 5 minute inspection that followed |
 |
Who doesn't love a fire hydrant??

| Following dad's advice to always 'stop and smell the roses' (or whatever they are) |
 |
| Summer strolls sure make you thirsty...the twins find refreshment in Trig's water dish |
 |
| While summer may be no more, the twins are already 'gearing up' for fall! |
Here are a few videos of our strolls.
Maybe they are identical after all...synchronized strolling at its best
These two are so talented, sometimes they like to show off
