It's Fall Time!!

Cole and Macie "helped" Grandpa and Grandma Rich rake leaves in their yard recently. It was a big project because there was so much playing in between the raking! Cole kept saying "This is a blast" and Grandpa couldn't take pictures fast enough. There are plenty of action shots with just a blur of two bodies running and jumping. The highlight was burying Grandpa in the leaves and waiting anxiously for him to jump out, which was scary every time I'm sure!

Raking leaves brings back very fond memories. I remember going to my Grandpa Rich's house to rake leaves in the Fall. He has two GIANT weeping willows in his back yard and a lot of fruit trees in addition, so there were tons of leaves that needed to be raked up before the snow came. Rachel, Lesa and I would rake piles and jump in them because, let's be honest, who could resist jumping into a giant pile of leaves? Then we got a little more creative and would design floorplans for our our houses and line the leaves up accordingly. That was really fun too!!
