There are hundreds of Pecan trees and Pecan Orchards all over the Mesilla Valley here in Las Cruces. It is a big source of income for many. Right next to where Samuel goes to ride is 1 of many Pecan Orchards. The kids and I have taken many walks thru it and collected Pecans that have fallen to the ground. Last week my kids raked up as many leaves as they could get( there are not many leaves falling yet, since they do not harvest the Pecans until after Thanksgiving or Christmas depending on the year, not to mention the leaves themselves are not even that nice of a leaf, they are hard and can be poky)They raked up leaves and walked for at least an hour in circles going everywhere trying to find more to make a pile big enough to jump in. They had a blast with what they could find.

Looks fun! We made pecan pie last year with some pecans from our neighbors. We have a pecan tree in our backyard but it doesn't produce many.
