Yeah, Delaney wants to know why we have to work on such a gorgeous day. It was pretty warm, around 70 yesterday.
So we put the kids to work. Yes, there is an extra one in there. The fantastic kid accross the street. We raked a huge pile of leaves. And then.... 
Joshua launched himself into them, after a run accross the yard.
He got some pretty good height and landed in the middle. Then all the kids did that. The neighbor boy actually did a flip int the leaves. My children were not that adventerous!
Even Marian got into it, and she had complained that the leaves were full of ants. Then they buried each other in the leaves.
Funny kids, having a ball!
.... And then they all left and I bagged 6 bags, mostly by myself.

When I was growing up we had a hug slide and we would pile the leaves at the bottom and slide into them, or we would swing off a tire we had into them. Now I know what's in them, I freak out when my kids go in them.
My parents rake and then let my kids jump in the leaves. They do this when they spend the night, so I am not there to panic when they get all dirty. My mom then gives them a bath before bed. The only reason I know my kids did this is because my mom takes a million pictures.
Oh, that does look fun! My kids would love to jump in the leaves, but the wind blows so hard here, that I don't usually have to rake. Your yard looks like a pretty good size to play in.
