Our Backyard


We technically don't have a backyard, like a piece of land that we own. But, we do have this trail just right outside of our apartment buildings.

When we first moved into this neighborhood, I began to think we made a mistake. It just seemed to be a bunch of home developments squished on a 25-MPH street with just one or two parks within walking distance to us.

But then we had a sunny day.

Instead of walking through our long parking lot to get to the street, we walked the opposite direction, up a little dirt slant, and then we discovered a paved trail that connects virtually one end of the neighborhood to the other. Off the paved trail, are multiple dirt trails, and just to the left behind all those trees is a large lake. And a baseball field. Who knew?

Oh, and we have 2 swimming pools that are free to us because we live in this neighborhood. I haven't taken advantage of either. We also have free access to a hot tub in our apartment complex, but I haven't used that either. Maybe because it's a large complex, and the hot tub is like a mile-walk away. Too bad that's not in my backyard.

Preschool Easter

Parents were invited to the last ten minutes of preschool on Thursday to watch the kids do their "easter egg hunt" or rather, "a scattered candy on the floor hunt." It's always fun to be there, and to meet some of the friends he always talks about. We love preschool!
