Our neighbors' leaf pile...

This giant pile of leaves was mainly our neighbors' pile, though Gage had contributed to it several times, and Mark and Kara were gracious enough to let Gage and Makenna dive into it several times before the pile met the trash bags.  It was such an inviting pile that I even encouraged Gage to ask Mark about it, and we were all thrilled when the kids got the green light to jump straight into the leaves without abandon.  I remember doing this as a kid, and memories like this are so fun to re-live with your kids later.
