Leaves leaving

We had to rake leaves this weekend so we could find the grass and patio again. This was Max's first experience with large piles of leaves. We figured some would go into his mouth since practically everything does go in there anyways. He did have fun digging in them.
And crawling in them. I laid in them and it wouldn't have been a bad place to nap in the sun, if Zoe and Max decided it would be more fun to crawl on me and cover me in leaves.

Zoe looked forward to the jumping in the piles of leaves. There were several piles so she could jump in different piles of leaves.

And Max cried when he saw Zoe in the sheet of leaves and finally he got to ride also. He loved it and he cried when the ride was over.

And the next day you couldn't even tell that we even raked so we'll have to do it all again and Max and Zoe will get to ride again.

And as Daddy says: "5 pounds of leaves 60 pounds of kid".

Pumpkin & Apple Picking

Last weekend we drove out to Lynds Fruit Farm to go pumpkin and apple picking. Jen and I had Friday off and aunt Stephanie came up to go on our little adventure with us. So we loaded up both cars, a girl car and a boy car and headed out Friday morning. The farm was muddy but at least it didn't rain and we all had fun hunting for our pumpkins. Zoe thought it was a giant maze and Max was just happy to be carried. We even had enough apples for GrandMa - the apples where huge by the way.

All we have to do now is a bit of pumpkin carving and we'll be ready for Halloween.
