Raking Leaves

A few weeks ago Tim was gone for the weekend, attending a NE Patriots game. The weather was gorgeous so Cameron and I went outside to help Nana and Poppa rake leaves. Cam didn't do so much raking, but he definitely enjoyed being outside and helping with all of the activities associated with raking (except jumping in the leaves; he didn't like that because they were wet).

He started out by helping Poppa pull a sled full of leaf bags into the front yard, and liked that. But pretty soon, Nana came up with a much better idea - Cam rode in the sled to "help" hold the leaf bags up. He LOVED it!! He kept urging us to fill the bags quicker so that he could have another rid into the front yard.

First, Cam got into the sled with the leaf bags.
The Poppa would pull him into the front.
Wheeeee!!!
Cameron took his job of holding up the leaf bags very seriously.
After dropping off the leaf bags in the front yard, Cam would get a high speed ride back into the back yard.
He LOVED those rides too.
The ride would always end by crashing into the leaf pile.
Timber!
Then Cameron decided to give Nana a ride. He gave up fairly quickly, declaring "You too big Nana. You pull me."

These photos have nothing to do with raking leaves, they are just cute pictures from another night. At this birthday party, Bridgette showed Cameron how to make a giant bead snake/circle. He has been making them every since.
This is Cameron's "CHEESE" smile.
He loves stretching out inside the circle. If you want to come into the circle too, he will break the beads so there is an opening in the circle - that lets you in. You walk in and he puts the circle back together. You can only get back out if he opens the circle again for you.
