Our Backyard

Spring in Texas has been glorious this year! Almost every week for weeks on end have been highs in the 70's, lows in the 50's. Awesome.

I'm so glad that last Fall we spent the money and got this done:

The kids (all three) spend hours on end in our backyard now. They love to swing, dig and play lots of ghost in the graveyard (basically a souped up version of hide and seek-- Greg and I both played that a ton growing up).
Mason is in heaven with shovels and rakes digging in the sticks. Megan spends a ton of time making obstacle courses for herself and swinging. Connor just likes to stand in the breeze holding his shovel or rake, sort of an American Gothic pose. Anyway... he likes to be outside and he is working on how to walk down our slope without falling. This Spring is absolute heaven on Earth!
