Leaf Maze!

It's not often I come up with cool ideas, but today I did! We were outside playing and I made a leaf maze for the kids to run around the yard in. At the rate the leaves are dropping it will probably be cover up by tomorrow, but it was a fun afternoon activity and required little work!

Stella standing in part of the maze. (This is about 1/10 of the leaves we will be gathering up! The trees in our yard have just started to fall.)
Porter making his way through the maze.

Stella and Mike racing each other.


My THREE kids!!! :)


Leaf fight!


The next photos show our beautiful trees, still mostly full.


Porter was very proud, he climbed up here all by himself!





My monkeys in the tree.


Porter took this photo!
Our front door, all ready for the trick or treaters tomorrow evening! :)

What a clever idea for the maze!! Did you use the lawnmower to clear the leaves out? Looks like alot of fun! Your trees are sure pretty! This has been a great fall for all the colors. However, you'll have alot of raking in the next couple of weeks! We still have alot of leaves on our trees too.

What a great idea. I love that you guys went and played too. We miss seeing all the fall foliage, it is in the high 80's here, but no green.

What a cool idea!! Although I don't envy having to rake all those leaves! Your front door looked really cute too. And loved the kids Halloween costumes - especially the cupcake :)
