Fall Leaves

DSC_0894 Every morning this week Carter has made a comment about how many leaves we have on our lawn and how we need to make them into a pile for jumping.  But by the time he gets home from school we just don’t have time.  Today he had a half day and it was unseasonably warm so we finally got around to getting them raked into a pile.  It’s becoming a yearly tradition and other than the leaves that end up in the house, I think it’s a fun one! 

The first jump:

The kids have 3 weeks off school now for their fall break.  Hopefully it stays warm so we can stay outside!
