Remember when...

Remember when you guys were little and the only thing we had to do in our backyard on 18th street was to swing, hit a bucket of balls, or have Dad be a fun dad and glue your feet to the ground? What would we be doing if we were still there today...I have a feeling we would be hauling our bikes somewhere or loading up the truck to go fishing? For  a second this picture had me missing the simple days of packing up and going on adventures or just spending time as a family in the backyard.

Today on Alice Ave. I had to embrace the craziness that came with the first warm day of spring. The craziness consisted of new neighbor kids that were excited about what our backyards had to offer. They wanted to fish and kayak and fish and kayak and change clothes a bazillion times. Thank goodness your dad and I went with it and he had the patience for 6 poles and all the tangles that came with!

The view here hasn't gotten old, so I'll take the craziness of the day and the beauty that we see of nature right in our backyard. Thank goodness it ended with a relaxing view and a house that was clean and without extra kids.
