Corwin’s friend Keith from soccer came over last Saturday for the afternoon. They played at the house for a bit and then went over to the pond (Charles had a major panic attack at the thought that Keith and Corwin were at the pond without him as well). When I got there with Charles, Keith and Corwin were wandering on the trail around the the pond. I, of course, was armed wtih my 70-200 lens. This was a device of such menace that I was able to spend about 30 minutes chasing the two of them around the pond with hardly any motion on my part. You can see them here, the first time they looked across the pond and spotted me with my equipment. I ended up doing one circut and by the end of that, the boys staggered out of the woods, so exhausted that they submitted to being imaged.
After that, all three of them spent quite a while building various things in the sand. Charles even got to help out, carrying water from the pond to the construction site both to maintain the landscaping and provide wet sand for further construction. Eventually I had to drag them home so that Corwin could get ready for a party that evening.
