Playing in the fall leaves at Wendy's House

Thursday we went to Wendy's house for the day. In hopes that Gabby would take a nap and that Roman would get a good nap Wendy took Kaylee out in the backyard to play in the leaves. Kaylee got to work with a rake to make a pile big enough to jump in.

As soon as Kaylee's pile was pretty big she jumped in it a few times and threw the leaves around to the point that it didn't even look like there had been a pile. The leaves were completely spread out.

While raking Kaylee kept finding branches and sticks. Wendy started breaking them and putting them away to use for firewood over the winter. Kaylee decided that she could break the sticks too.

The idea of Gabby taking a nap at Wendy's house was a nice thought but it didn't happen. After about half an hour of laying down she came out to play in the leaves too. I started to rake all the leaves into a big pile and gabby thought it was tons of fun.

Fall leaves were made for: Running, Jumping, Throwing, Rolling, and playing. After all the fun has been soaked out of the leaves then it's time to put them in bags and wait for the next layer of leaves to fall and do it all again.

While we were outside playing in the leaves Kaylee was chewing a piece of bubble-gum. After Kaylee and Gabby had jumped into the pile of leaves Kaylee yelled "OH NO!!! Where did my gum go?!?" She found it in the grass and wanted to pick it up and put it back in her mouth. She was a little upset when we told her it couldn't go back in her mouth. After Wendy told her she could have another piece she was okay again. (So then Wendy sought out the gum to take a picture)

I raked a huge pile of leaves for both girls to jump in. This was the highlight of their day. They thought the only reason for leaves was to play in them. Even after raking this huge pile of leaves I hadn't even raked 1/3 of the leaves in the yard.

After we got the leaves into the bag Kaylee still wanted to play with them. Even if that meant just playing with the bag.
