What we do on Sunday afternoons

Weather permitting Sunday afternoons we like to take a walk around our country section.  Sometimes the kids grumble about this, and sometimes they are excited.   In the fall it is extra fun because of these things. . .
 We call them "Monkey Brains" or "Brain fruit."  Miss O insisted that the proper name is Osage Oranges?  They grow on trees in our neck of the woods, are inedible, and are pretty gross looking I think.   But they make great soccer balls to kick down the road. . . 

 And kicking two at a time takes talent. . .
                                                                    And kick

                                                                     and kick
and kick, and if you lose the one you were kicking, chances are there is another tree right by the road for you to grab another to keep kicking down the road.  Country fun :)
