the leaves are everywhere

Here we are in the midst of our second east coast fall. With the lovely trees, we have lots of leaves. Our total yardage is about a tenth of what I had growing up, but we have 10 times the leaves. Jack of course loves any chance to get outside so he helps me rake. And by helps he uses a broom to drag along the ground. 

 


Back before it got too cold I tried to take the boys outside everyday so we would explore new playgrounds and find new paths. One afternoon we literally stumbled upon a little trail that I absolutely love now. We walked over a little footbridge, through a pedestrian tunnel, and came out to this scene:

This part of the trail is also part of a stream restoration project, which will make it even more gorgeous when the stream is complete. I made Chris come back so we could take our 2nd annual family picture in the woods. It would be a lot easier if we had someone taking the pictures, or at least a tripod, but the timer works.  


Now, just for fun here is Chris and Jack enjoying the wii together.
