When the leaves fell off the peach trees in May, the three youngest had great fun raking them up and playing in them. I remember loving maple trees when I was young, because of the wonderful leaf piles! This isn’t as good, but as close as our children are likely to get to that. While they were playing with the leaves, they got the idea of making a movie about it. I’m not sure what the plot was supposed to be, if any, but I put together the clips they got. You might want to turn it off when it starts getting crazy–when all three are tumbling together in the pile.




Actually, I am impressed with the photographer’s tenacity in holding the camera there at the end! It puts us right into the action. Or, maybe he doesn’t need to know that grandma liked it? I am also impressed with the amount of raking that it had to have taken to pile and re-pile and re-pile those leaves! That is the downside of scattering them. 🙂
Sounds like a cute book.
