As a kids we use to have the grandest time playing in the leaves. Now leaves just are about raking and chores to us. I remember the days when we would rake all the leaves in our yard just to make a pile big enough to jump into. You know this can still be a fun activity for us in our adult life. If you have kids you have an in right there. If not invite the neighbor children (with their parents permission) to come down and help celebrate fall with you, heck why not just invite the neighborhood over.
One year as kids we collected leaves from every yard in the neighborhood. Dragged them down to one house with a old bed sheet and made a monster pile of leaves. The entire neighborhood came down and either jumped in or took pictures / video. Why not start that tradition in your neighborhood, the kids will love it and you can let that inner kid in you out to play for a while
