Playing in the leaves

When we got back from the town trick or treat the weather was beautiful and the yard was full of leaves. Naturally, that meant playing in big ol' leaf piles!

Last year while Luca played in the neighbor's leaves 2 month old Tessa was inside napping. So this year we were excited to see what she thought of it. She loved it! She liked handing leaves to whoever was closest, laughing and watching Luca, and splashing in them. =)

Luca of course had a blast running and jumping in and then immediately asking us to rake them back in a big pile so he could do it again. He was less excited about sharing the pile with Tessa, but was eventually convinced that she could sit to the side and he could still jump in the big part.

Pa had come over to help fix stuff (again... Thanks Pa!) and tried to convince Luca he knew a fun and exciting new way to play in the leaves! Luca was not sold.

Still, lots of fun, lots of jumping, lots of raking, good way to spend an afternoon.
