Sam Conquers the Attic Steps

There's something about attics that fascinate children. I remember being intrigued by my grandparents' attics. They held exciting mysteries and discoveries in my imagination. We keep an old futon mattress up in ours for when the grands come to visit. After we pulled it down the other night, Sam and Lucy wanted to see what else was up there. At first Sam was a little reticent about climbing those rickety steps, but once he determined it was worth the climb- he was up in the attic in no time flat! Lucy wasn't too far behind him.
What fun that must have been! We have an attic where we store all kinds of stuff which we don't need! I urgently need to get it cleared out.

I agree, as a child my great grandmothers attic was the most magical place.

looks like you might have a well organised attic up there. And Sam does look pleased with himself.

He looks so happy with the accomplishment. I sure wish I could bend my knees like that.

@ludwigsdiana This attic is in desperate need of a "clearance sale" too!

@pyrrhula The "entrance" is the opening in the ceiling- he's actually IN the attic- it's small!!

@grammyn During the day at this time of year, it is way too hot to be in the attic but this was taken at about 10 at night, so it was tolerable for a couple of children- but not their grandparents!

@helenhall Looks are deceiving!! (o:

@shutterbug49 Me too- which is one reason why I haven't been able to declutter it.

good grief ! Who goes into an attic at 10:00 at night!?
August 6th, 2022  
obviously your grandson!

@grammyn A child that wants to help get the extra mattress he will be sleeping on down. LOL He and his sister were absolutely fascinated with what was up there. They said when they come back they want to help me clear it. Needless to say, I will be begging their mother for that to happen asap!

Great capture Sam looks very happy to be up there.
