Fall Fun

Unfortunately the weather has been horrible for fall fun. We have had a bunch of rainy days, so it seems we can never get out to have fun. Today the kids got out for a bit even though it is a mess outside. We are in desparate need of some sunshine to help dry up the leaves. I let the kids play outside while I prepared lunch and snapped these pictures from the house windows.
Alex working hard on raking the leaves...
then wondering when the leaves will stop falling. :)

Zach wondering what Liz has found in the bucket...

nothing important as Liz dumps the leaves and sand out.

Zach playing with a stick...shocking, right?!?!

By the time we actually get to raking all the leaves will be off the tree...normally we rake a few times...not this year!

Alex using the tractor and wagon to pick up sticks...

while Zach and Liz headed to the burning bush in the corner of our yard.

Alex decides to join them and bring a wagon, much bigger then the bucket the two were using...

Here the three are picking the berries off of the bush as well as the rest of the leaves.
