for three years we have been doing this in november....
piling all the leaves in our yard in front of the trampoline and jumping into the leaf mountain.
please enjoy this huge amount of photos of leaf jumpers...
now that the fun is over it's time to get those leaves out of here.

bummer.
And no one ended up in the emergency room? If my kid were there it would have ended in broken bones!

That looks like so much fun, woot!

All I could think is, what if someone lands on a stick or something. I'm a party pooper!

This looks so fun. The 'mom' side of me wants to say it looks scary, but the 'wild' side of me says that it's so perfect for kids to let loose and have fun!!! Glad to see you are living the fall life to the fullest!!

Now that is a good time!!
Posted by: iola | November 12, 2009 at 09:02 AM
I would totally freak out if I saw my son do that. But thats because I'm a city girl. We don't have huge piles of leaves like that in Brooklyn! Great shots!
Posted by: Meg | November 12, 2009 at 08:47 AM
Hilarious! I kinda wish we had a trampoline now! lol :)
Posted by: Courtney Walsh | November 12, 2009 at 07:57 AM

Wow..that looks like super fun.. you must be super chill because I would be afraid of someone getting hurt.......but then again that must be one big cushy pile of leaves.. I want to jump in them.

Trampolines provide so much entertainment- ours is losing the protective nets so soon we will be able to do this as well.
I'm sure you do the sprinkler under it in the summer? That is our fave
Posted by: Elisa | November 11, 2009 at 03:04 PM
I wonder if I can do that with my laundry mountain? Love, love, love your business cards. Any chance of a book...PW style? You know, just in your spare time...Meredith xo.
Posted by: Meredith | November 11, 2009 at 02:52 PM
this is seriously awesome. Im going to go pile our leaves and then throw the cat into it. because we don't have enough....

Posted by: No.17CherryTreeLane | November 11, 2009 at 02:35 PM
Love it! Did YOU jump??!
Posted by: Ruth | November 11, 2009 at 01:50 PM
My husband ruined leaves for me this year... when I showed him pictures of the kids in them he said, "did you check for cat poop?"
Um, no! Should I??!
Posted by: Courtney | November 11, 2009 at 01:30 PM
You definitely have some daredevils there! Looks like awesome fun for the brave sort!
Blessings,

Awesome! From what I remember, playing in the leaves was always the fun part - all the raking and bagging afterward, not so much.
Posted by: Kacey | November 11, 2009 at 01:06 PM

Posted by: meaghan | November 11, 2009 at 12:56 PM
I have to agree with others that I got a little nervous looking at the ones of your son!
LOVE your blog!

Ahhhh. I love this! Shoot, I live in Socal and have no leaves!
Posted by: Tanya Munoz | November 11, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Craig may be a leaf 'piler' but I don't believe he is a leaf 'jumper'. I want a picture to PROVE IT!
Posted by: Mother Runner | November 11, 2009 at 10:27 AM
How fun is that? Totally made me smile! :)
Posted by: Kelly | November 11, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Ah you are such a great mom. Hope your kids appreciate the trampoline. I'm kind of a stick in the mud with that one:) Looks like a ball!!
Posted by: Becky @ Farmgirl Paints | November 11, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Craig is a hoot!
Posted by: Anna Marie | November 11, 2009 at 09:45 AM

Posted by: amy d | November 11, 2009 at 09:43 AM
I agree, my stomach hurt a little bit thinking of the landing your son was going to feel. No pain?! That trampolins always makes me wish we had one!
Posted by: Sharla | November 11, 2009 at 09:42 AM

Posted by: Kristine | November 11, 2009 at 09:28 AM
I think you have some gymnasts on your hands! Wow... next year we need a picture of you jumping on the tramp :)
Posted by: Trish | November 11, 2009 at 09:22 AM

Posted by: pam | November 11, 2009 at 09:18 AM
Oh! Those flippy shots just make me cringe! Looks like fun, though.
Your business cards are so cute, by the way.
