Leaves

Every year we have a family tradition. Our silver maple in the front yard turns a beautiful red in the fall. The leaves fall on the lawn. So, we rake up all the leaves into a great big pile and the kids jump in and play. They throw leaves up in the air, roll around, laugh. It's a great time. We take tons of photos. This year the next door neighbor kid joined in. Then we rake them up again, which is no effort compared to the fun we have. We had to cancel our raking plans the previous two weekends so this weekend when we finally got around to it, the leaves were disintegrated to a good degree, but still fun nonetheless.
