How to Have a Ridiculously Good Time in a Gigantic Pile of Leaves
Find a few mature trees that have lost their leaves. We found some giant leaf droppers at Eagle Creek Park. Build a pile using anything around you. Feet, Hands, and Large Sticks work great – no rake required! =)
{The pictures don’t do this justice…Trust me, it was EPIC!} On the count of three get ready to jump in!
Jump in until you’re covered entirely with leaves. {Watch out to not jump on disappearing children.}
Continue jumping…
Then throw leaves into the air by the armloads…
And roll around until the pile is flattened.
Don’t forget to laugh, hoot, and holler. {And smile at the memories as you continue to dig pieces of leaves out of your underwear for the next 24 hours.}
That is a really cute pic of you!!! And I love fall. I stuck my 12 month old in a pile of leaves for a photo, but she just wanted to eat them all 🙂
Always love your photos! Especially loving the last one of you. 🙂 Looks like a blast and a great memory making time!
How fun!!!
Your pictures are fantastic. I bet that was a ton of fun.
Last year I did the same thing with my boys (and the neighbor kids) and turned it into a video. It doesn’t have nearly the majesty of your photos though – it just shows the excitement.

Always a pleasure to visit your site,

I too love that last picture of you. Looks like your feeling much better after surgery.
So much fun!!! Raking leaves is always more fun with kiddos!
Totally off topic…but I just saw that Kohl’s has “On the Night You Were Born” as one of their Kohl’s Cares for Kids picks. It’s $5, which is much cheaper than I’ve seen anywhere else. And part of the $$ goes to charity. I don’t even know if you’re still doing the NICU survival kits, but wanted to let you know!
This is great! Today I posted my 5 rules for raising nice kids. Sounds like you don’t even need them. (but please look anyway, lol).
That looks like a fun pile to jump in! I know my kids would have fun with it. Fantastic pics, too!
