The sunset was really pretty.
But it was not my main point of interest this evening. The kids from across the street were playing in the gazebo.
When mom called them all in at sunset, they were not happy. This one lagged way behind.
Finally on the porch, they protested loudly.
As you can see, mom was getting more and more aggravated.
See the little girl peeking out from behind the door? I think she was trying to slip back out, but decided against it!
And so it goes at a Sunday Sunset on a school night...
“At twilight, the sky whispers bedtime, but children hear
adventure—chasing shadows, fireflies, and every last golden minute before the
stars take over.”

Quite an entertaining evening watching mom and the kids battle it out. Beautiful sunset 🌇 photos and poem, Ginny.
Please don’t post photos of people without their permission, especially children. Rita
I sympathize with both the mom and the kids. Playing is more fun than going to school. :)
I usually find the gazebo just like that on the beach. Children often being caught love playing around it
We have zero kids in our neighborhood, or is they are there I have never seen them. I only have the house of 7 cars to watch their shenanigans. Forgot, there are 2 babies in that house and next door is a 7 year old, but I never see any of them. you are right drama in the sunset it is
That is a pretty sunset. I do sympathize with the mom. I so remember those days of trying to get the kids to come in the house. My favorite argument was trying to convince them that spending the day in the pool did not qualify as already having a bath.
I remember my kids protesting at coming in too. :)
Beautiful sunset!
Sounds like a mutiny! Love that beautiful sunset.
I can recall those days of hating to have to be indoors once the sun went down, Ginny. Your sunset photos are breathtaking!
Oh, I remember playing in the neighborhood until mom called us in for supper. It's hard to get kids to come in after a day of imaginary play, but this mom succeeded, good for her. That's a charming house, by the way. I love gazebos! Your sunset photos are beautiful, Ginny. Can't believe September is coming to an end.

A gorgeous sunset Ginny. These photos are a reminder to me of the fun times that my siblings and I had playing outside until dark. How nice it is to see kids actually enjoying playing outdoors verses being glued to their phones in the house. I'm sure mom was getting tired from having to call them over and over again to come in, but what a treasure to have kids that want to play...
I remember being a young mom like that and trying different things with the kids - to get them to listen - lol. Cute they were playing outside.
Whaat a beautiful sunset. It can be frustrating getting kids to listen. :)
