Fall Time Fun

We have big trees in our back yard, and by big trees I mean absolutely MASSIVE! I love them. My dad, on the other hand, is worried they will fall on our house, but that is another post. Well, within the past couple of days our leaves have turned and are beginning to fall. If you looked up at the trees you would think the leaves haven't begun falling because there are so many. However, if you looked at the yard, you would swear all of the leaves had already fallen. Get my point? There are a lot of leaves, both on the ground and soon to come.

Yesterday I raked up leaves. You may think this a futile point with so many left on the trees but I promise you, I would not be able to rake them up if I waited for them all the fall. I know my strength and raking up a 2 ft deep layer of leaves is not in my physical abilities. (Nor yours, I assure you)

So, it looks like I will be raking leaves on a weekly/daily basis for the next little while. Which is completely fine with me because I love raking leaves. Especially on beautiful days like yesterday. The day was so perfectly fall, I was in heaven!

Here are some pics of our adventures in the leaves. Kameryn thought they were the most wonderful thing in the whole world. Cooper was more interested in the rake, cell phone, and camera that was not in use. Needless to say, the little bugger made it difficult to get a good pic of him. (Very uncharacteristic of the Coop)
