Playing in the Leaves

I noticed that our leaf collection was growing, so when Owen got home from school this afternoon, we decided to do something about it.  First we raked the leaves into a big pile.

Then Owen showed his sisters how to jump into the leaves.  MayLynn caught on quickly, but River had more fun just watching the other two.

Then the girls discovered how much fun it is to throw the leaves in the air and watch them float back down.

But mostly, it was fun to do some work and have some fun on a sunny autumn afternoon with my kids.
