Leaves!

Maggie helped me rake up the leaves with the sole motivation of being able to jump into the pile we created. She had a ball.

Listen to the crunch in this action shot:

Gunnar joined in, too, slightly hampered by the tools in his Home Depot apron.

The best part of it was that Maggie kept her end of the bargain by sticking around afterwards to help re-rake the leaves and put them in a bag. She's a good girl. (To be fair, Gunnar did do some raking, too.)
