Leaves!

The kids were excited to get out in the leaves this past weekend. The weather provided us with a perfect crisp autumn afternoon with mostly overcast skies. The crispness was actually bordering on feeling like we are in for some impending snowfall in the mountains surrounding us but it was still a beautiful autumn afternoon. 

With all the excitement about the all the colorful leaves covering the lawn and having rakes within view and ready to be used, the kids put a nice dent in raking the lawn while trying to build the biggest pile of leaves possible for some autumn leafy fun!

Someone did more throwing of leaves than actual raking though...

...and, some hula-hooping...

Leaf diving... "I'm going in..."

"That's enough... I'm done raking... I'm going in!"

Grandma Bear bent a tree down for baby Bear to reach some colorful leaves...

After collecting a bunch of colorful autumn leaves, we all went inside so Lukey and Kenzie could create some autumn leaf artwork to send Uncle Adam. Currently, Uncle Adam is enjoying an authentic Octoberfest in the heart of Germany but has mentioned that he is missing some of the Vermont autumn colors. 

Gee will be shipping the artwork to Uncle Adam after the holiday weekend and the Post Office is open again.

More on the weekend to follow...
