playing in the leaves

since we planned on taking a month-long trip to texas in november, we knew that we had to take care of the falling leaves in our backyard pretty soon.  and since october was such a beautiful month here in wisconsin, we took advantage and raked up those leaves.  actually, i didn't really do anything with the leaves this year.  tyler took care of all of them.  we think he's pretty darn amazing.

but before we did any raking, we headed outdoors to play in the leaves a couple of different times. a favorite activity of ours in the fall.

here's a mix of pictures from our different outings in the leaves.
