Summer fun with friends

 We've had a unique opportunity to live in the neighborhood
that I grew up in for the last year now, and it has been so nice.
 There is always someone to play with
 and the girls have really loved all of their friends...

And even though it's not our home (and never will be),

we are still enjoying the freedom, spectacular backyard
and the awesome neighborhood...

Picnics; swinging in the hammock; birdwatching
(and bird burrying...that's another story);

running through the sprinklers; slip 'n slide; family parties under the stars;

rolling in the grass; playing pretend under the big pines; making fairy villages;

finding snails and potato bugs; picking fruit from the trees; watching the garden grow...

Playing Red Rover...
