Leaf it to Pa

Amelia has been wanting to jump in huge piles of leaves since the moment it turned fall.  We found a few little piles at the park here and there and she was satisfied with that until we read another book where the main character was jumping into an enormous, fluffy pile of leaves.  It seems every single book we checked out in a three week span were all about huge leaf piles.  We have NO trees at our house, so you can imagine her GLEE when we pulled up to G and Pa's farm a few weekends ago.  There were leaves everywhere.  It was a cold day, but we spent two full hours outside just watching the girls meander around the yard- mainly in the leaves.  Pa got out his rake and made a pile as tall as Amelia's head.  We had a delicious country breakfast and enjoyed our day immensely.  So thankful for the slow pace of the farm and the way that my girls just drink it up.
