Ohhhh...the wonder of fall...until you have to rake the leaves!!!

Caroline, Zach, and Stella creating the leaf pile that would soon become as tall as Zach!

Stella doing her part. She insisted on carrying the leaves by the arm fulls and then dumping them on the leaf pile!
Think how many trips it is going to take back and forth, doing it by the arm fulls, to get to the below picture's leaf pile height? The kids tried, but I helped Zach the next day by raking them into this pile almost as tall as he is.
Zach wanting to show how tall the leaf pile is....

Zach getting out into the street to get a better running start.

He said he wanted to head-butt the leaf pile...how do you head-butt a leaf pile? I guess you go head first!

This is all that is left of Zach after a dive into the pile. He completely disappears in the next picture.


Cool jumping action shot...I just hope there is no sharp or poky object waiting below the leaves.




Ahhhh! Zach is in leaf heaven. He loves jumping in the leaves and if he could have his way, he would rake the first batch of leaves in September in any condition just to have an excuse to jump in!
He cracks me up!

Zach completely disappeared in those leaves! The "leaf heaven" was so cute. I want to run and jump in that pile. It looks like it was well worth the work.

I love the one of his face with the leaves around it...in heaven.
I love to rake leaves. It feels good. (a couple times anyway)
Fun times!
