Fun with leaves!

So we have this huge avocado tree in our front yard. The best part about the tree is when the avocados are ready to be picked. But at this time of year all we get from the tree is leaves...lots and lots of leaves. Not much fun when you rake the whole yard and the next day it looks like you did nothing at all. So instead of picking up the leaves I just rake them into a pile and let Kellen enjoy them.


This particular picture was really funny. Kellen had been playing in the leaves when all of a sudden he sits down and takes off his boot while saying, "I know you are in there stick. Get out of my boot!" Then of course when he was done talking the stick out of his boot he put it back on and went on playing.
When you don't have snow to make a snow angel what do you do? Well you make a leaf angel of course. Kellen has so much fun playing in the leaves as you can tell from these photos. It was a fun filled day of play and pictures.

This is my favorite picture from that day. I think it captures the pure joy on his face. He loves to play outside and loves to play in the leaves. It was a great time and I will cherish it always. I am so happy that I have this photo to remind me how such small things can bring such pure joy!
