One Fine Fall Day Up North

 One of the gigantic piles of leaves we raked that day.  I think we had 5 rakers going and the wind to help us ;-)
 A little boy loving the pile of leaves
 Girls in the pile
 The 3 boys---buried
 Then, come eve we had 3 big leaf piles burning.  It took a little over 2 hours to burn all the leaves, so it was quite a bit of fun =)
 Getting it burning
Jael stirring the fire, Luke getting a head start on marshmallows!
Maria roasting marshmallows 
 Yep, I was there, mostly taking pictures and keeping baby out of the fires
 Erika and the s'more station!
"I just need 1 more" and so on
 This was just ONE big leaf pile.  We dragged tarp after tarp of these to the fires to burn
Luke & Seth roasting some mallows.

All in all it was a great time together!

It sure was a great time together, we loved all the help and we all have fun out in the fresh air and wind. Nothing like a family working together.

We need more times like this when we can be together.

Thanks for taking and sharing the pictures.
