Afternoon Delight

The weather has been unusually mild this August, and we have taken full advantage of the perfect mid-70’s temperatures. Each day after our afternoon nap we have gone out to our backyard to play. Unlike the park, we have full freedom to roam around our fenced backyard. There is plenty of room to run and play ball. We have our own swing and slide to play on and several riding toys to explore. At times the atmosphere can be very festive. The football practice field is directly behind our house, and when they’re there we stand at the fence and watch from time to time. Music sometimes plays from the school’s parking lot when the marching band is practicing. Because our fence is low and transparent, people can see us playing and don’t feel hesitant about approaching and joining us. We love it when neighbors visit especially if they are around our age.
