Bliss, Part 2: Leaves

Audrey--Elena's first cousin--turned two today.  Elena will be two on Thursday--so they shared their #2 birthday party.

Judging from my afternoon with  a yard-full of kids, I'd guess that they know bliss.  Far more interesting than the presents were the leaves. A few firefighter daddies started raking leaves into a pile and the little kids jumped into the pile, over and over, with absolute glee.  At one point, Elena said to her granddaddy, "Papi, you do it!"--and he did.

Not only that, but Papi wore the broken piñata on his head like a big ceremonial hat.  To get back in touch with glee, watch fifteen little kids jumping into the leaves and throwing them up over their heads in a huge spray.  Then, who knows?  You might decide to do it yourself!
