Jumping in the leaves...trampoline style


























We had a beautiful Saturday. It was in the 70's (NC is awesome!). Travis decided to rake some leaves this morning, and as usual he had the kids come help him. He came in and said, "I have a fun idea. Let's put the leaves on the tramp so the kids can jump in them." That was the best idea ever! Do you remember making leaf piles as a kid. You would think to yourself, "I'm going to jump in that big old pile of leaves and it'll be so fun." Then you jump into the big old pile, and instead of it being nice and cushy...you crash through the leaves onto the hard ground. At least, that was my experience. So the trampoline idea was the bomb! The kids could throw the leaves and jump in them and make leaf angels and laugh lots. All without having the wind knocked out of them. I can't take any credit for the tramp idea or the the pictures. Travis was the photographer, I think he took like 50 pictures. He had fun going through them and picking favorites. So, this is all his handy work, I'm just posting them. Ain't life great?
