Fall Leaves


 One of the funnest activities to do in the fall is to rack up all the leaves into a really large pile...


Jonathan thought it was more fun to use Grandpa's really big golf club!







Now it's time to JUMP! 

 Jonathan jumped in, and thought it was so much fun,
he had to do it again.



FYI:
Fall leaves don't really change color in the fall. Rather, as daylight decreases, cells at the base of the leaves swell, cutting off the flow of fresh water and causing chlorophyll (which makes leaves look green)
to disappear. Other pigment that have been there all along, such as red and orange, become visible.
