leaves!

On Monday we went back to the apple orchard.  We finished off the 20 pounds of apples we picked a few weeks ago, and we needed more!
My sister Janis and her two youngest daughters met us at the orchard.  It didn't take long to fill our bags with apples... but the kids didn't want to go. 

Then they spotted a giant pile of leaves.

Oh what fun!
The girls built a fort and pathways.

June has never played in leaves before.  The girls nearly buried her in the crisp leaves.

June had the best time grabbing bunches of leaves and tossing them in the air.  And swishing and kicking at the crunchy leaves.

It was all lovely and fun until it really was time to go...

Alli lamented the fact that we don't have leaves in our yard.  Our trees are too scrawny this year.

So sad.
