Come with us.&#8221;    Since we live in a newer subdivision, none of us have big old trees with lots of leaves, so we don&#8217;t really get to experience the fun that is raking leaves.  So we tossed the kids in the car and drove over a few streets to an older street in our ward, and got out the rakes.  Actually, we don&#8217;t even own a rake, so we asked if we could use theirs.  It was a glorious fall day with the sun still shining and the kids had a wonderful time raking leaves with their friends.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"397\" height=\"463\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/02-Nov-2007\/IMG_7185.sized.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Did I say raking?

They raked up ALL the leaves they could find in this one yard, and also from the gutters and even the house across the street.  They wanted to go back the next day!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"734\" height=\"550\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/02-Nov-2007\/IMG_7168.sized.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We had to bring 4 bags of leaves home to put in our garden, according to the kids.  I don&#8217;t think we really need that for mulch, but who was I to say no to a few bags of leaves.  The problem wasn&#8217;t the leaves in the bags, however, it was the amount of leaves the kids tracked into the car and the house.  When they undressed that night, there were even leaves in their underwear.  I had to vacuum out the car, since the crunched up leaves were attaching themselves to EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n<p>It was a fun fall free for all!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"718\" height=\"538\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/02-Nov-2007\/IMG_7179.sized.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a week ago, a friend called me and said, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to go and rake leaves!
