BIGGEST LEAF PILE!

I think we may be in the running for the largest leaf pile ever! Yesterday Brandon and Brad started blowing and raking the leaves into a pile and the kids just had to go out and help. Ethan was quite the helper with his little rake.

Then of course, the fun started. Brad and Brandon would toss Ethan pretty high in the air and land in the leaves.



 He LOVED it. Yeah he had leaves in his shoes, his pants, his hat and gloves, but no complaining out of this little guy. It was freeeeeezing and he was in heaven.

After Kaylin's homework was finished she headed out too. She kept making Brandon play her ogre game and he would just tackle her. Here Ethan is getting tackled, can you see him??

Kaylin didn't want to go as high, but she still had a lot of fun. Here is her landing. I laugh every time I see this.

There's some air!

Mika wanted to see what all this funny business was about. She was absolutely freezing and it took a while to warm up her hands and feet after we came in, but she'd stand there watching the kids and laugh.

Brandon wanted her to join the fun so bad. So he threw her in. (yes, he wins the best uncle award!) She was giggling the whole time.
 The pile is still going...there are even more leaves at the back part of the yard, but this pile will keep the kids entertained (and very dirty!) for the next few days! :)

Wow! That's the biggest pile of leaves I've ever seen! Looks like the kids had a blast. I'm sure Travis is getting some fun times out there as well.

That is so many leaves! Leaf piles are often misleading.. they seem big but once you land in them and you hit the ground they all the sudden don't seem as big. but, not that one. It is huge! How fun.
