Fall Leaves

I've been itching to do this with the kids. I have memories of jumping and playing in piles of leaves growing up. The nice thing about doing it here is that most of the leaves have fallen and they're dry. We've had three days of gorgeous weather here in the upper 60's - low 70's, so we didn't have to worry about any wet, slimey leaves. The kids had SO much fun! Nathan just dove right in and loved to get buried with leaves. He also couldn't walk in the deep stuff more than a step or two before falling on his face, which he enjoyed. We probably did this for about 45 minutes after I got home from work and it was just so nice outside. I did a lot of raking and Mary did a lot of picture taking. Sarah really enjoyed picking up leaves and throwing them in the air until we realized that the wind was blowing them into the neighbors yard. Whoops! Mary and I had so much fun watching how excited Nathan and Sarah were having. It's great to be with carefree happy kids and just watch them have so much fun. I hope that it will be as nice tomorrow afternoon so that we can do this again... I think if we do this again I'll have to get more hands on with my play and get buried too. Anyway, I hope you enjoy(ed) the pics. This was a blast for everyone!
