I know winter will be here soon, so I want to spend time outside and soak up as much warm sun as I can.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7352\/9752619692_ba35200b1b.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter climbing halfway up the hill to get to the swing I was inspired to see how high I could get and how far I could see. I grabbed the rope, ran and jumped on to the swing. I held on tight to the rope and leaned back, with the wind on my face I felt like I was flying!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7305\/9752903033_9edfde7d77.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter swinging as high as I could I decided the best way to get the view that I wanted was to climb a tree. The swing is on a tree, but the branches are all too high for me to reach. I\u2019m not very tall so finding a tree with branches low enough for me to reach and thick enough to hold me can be challenging, but I found a tree leaning so much I could climb it without using any branches.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7391\/9752842005_9a92e71054.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter enjoying the view I decided that I could make my own backyard gymnastics routine. I dismounted the vault threw my hands in the air to salute the tree shaped judges, I am pretty sure they were impressed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7421\/9752857075_70c41a17a2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter the vault I moved to my balance beam routine.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7432\/9752850525_c19ced3850.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nAfter several leaps, jumps and turns I dismounted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7396\/9752670672_9157cc34d3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nI sat down to rest until the sun dropped below the trees and the cool breeze chased me inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Athena had the opportunity to spend some time outside on an unseasonably warm fall day.
