Raking leaves

Here is our first pass at raking up the leaves from the gigantic oak tree in the back yard (the linden's leaves always fall much later. Often after compost truck season). The kids gave us a hand. They loved packing the leaves down into the bucket.
Rachel's glamourous rakish look.
Elliot absolutely absorbed in the process. We just have to make sure he doesn't eat the leaves while he is at it. He looks like a roly-poly baby giraffe when he does...and he always has that devilish grin on his face when he does something he is not supposed to.
