Grandpa Scott's Leaves

November 5, 2012.

Grandpa Scott has some of the biggest shade trees at his house and that means LEAVES galore in the fall.  This kids love to rake them into big piles and jump in them.  The moms think it is fun too but for only about 5 minutes and then we realize what daunting task lies ahead in cleaning them all up.

Justin was such a good worker.
 
Fisher did pretty good with his bite-sized rake.
 
Hunter even got in on the action.  He was the best little boy for how long we were out there.
 
 Here are some of the kids working. Look at all those leaves!
 
The girls were pretty protective of their big pile. Hannah, Emmie, and Addie.
 
Then the boys took over the girls' pile.  Here are all the little boys - 6 of them 5 to 3 years old!
Soren, Fisher, Jason, Justin, Keegan, and Hunter in the front.  I took 3 pictures and not one kid is looking at me in any of them!
 
Justin and Keegan.  Look at the face on Keegan...I love it!
 
Grandma Sing and Hunter.
 
Justin was so excited about getting all covered up in a pile of leaves.  He talked about it for days before we went up there.
 
Then we got serious and Haylie got the blower out.  Fisher loved running in it.  The blower saved us.

Hunter would giggle any time Haylie got close to him with the blower.  I was surprised that he liked it.
 
We finally got all the leaves cleaned up.  Grandpa tried to get home from work tohelp us but he got hung up.  Until next year...
