Fall Fun!

All Summer I was complaining to my sister, Kelly, because we only have one mature tree in our yard to provide shade from the hot sun. Now that Fall is here, I am extremely grateful that I only have to rake the leaves from one tree. It has taken awhile for enough leaves to fall to make raking worthwhile, but last week we were able to create a large enough leaf pile to jump in for the first time at our new house. Faith sat in the middle of it all for a good 45 minutes while I slowly raked a large pile to surround her with.

She spent the majority of the time tasting the different leaves and then constantly sticking out her tongue in order to get out the pieces stuck in her mouth.

Gracelyn really had no interest in the raking of the leaves. She preferred to ride her bike with some of the neighbor kids. However, as soon as the pile was big enough, she invited all of her friends over to jump in the leaves with her. Pictured above is Brianna Reinoso, Alyssa Reinoso, Sydney Richards, Gracelyn & Faith.

This is Faith deciding that her tummy is full from all the leaves and she has had enough. What perfect timing though! At this point, all of the leaves had been gathered into a pile and all I had left to do was bag them up for the trash man. It was such a beautiful 60 degree day and we took full advantage of it by spending most of it outside! I love warm and sunny Fall days!!!
