Daddy was kind enough to keep some leaves on the ground for us to play in when we got back to the mainland. We kinda missed peak colors in our yard while we were gone, but playing in leaves is just about as fun. He did a lot of raking while we were gone, but we have a big yard with lots of leaves so it worked out well. Both Brianna and Carl were excited about the piles, Brianna a little more so, as you can tell she just wanted to be buried. They played a long while and didn't want to come in the house when it was time. They were so used to their Auntie Laura's house in Hawaii, where they just let themselves in and out to the backyard all day long. It's a good thing for meal times to coax them back in!
B even got into the spirit of raking and started to help. She has a small wheelbarrow too that she tried putting leaves into before her brother would come and knock it over. I think next year we'll have to look for a child sized rake because the pooper scooper rake, a manageable size for a child, is not meant for leaves (plus it's kinda gross if you think about it - oh well!).
