A Good Day for a Dad-napping

...as in stealing, not as in sleeping. That would be dreamy. No, it was just a stolen fifteen minutes in the middle of Dan's day. Did I mention that it's the last week of the quarter? Yeah...
So, we met him on campus after raiding the Farmer's Market and coaxed him across the green with the promise of a beeeeyoooootiful tree. The sycamore above was an extra bonus, but not the focus of this escapade. Ah, here we are - this flaming maple in every color of orange, yellow, red, peach, mellon, sherbet, mango delight...

And then we walked him back to his office, and left him with market goodies, some kisses and promises that we still love him, even if he has to be inside on a day like today...

Here is the girls' favorite part of the inside of Dan's building - it's an inner courtyard that they, um, access through an open window. It houses something I'd loosely call a sculpture and is inviting for obvious mischievous reasons.
