Backyard Fun

We absolutely love our backyard. Our house is tiny and just enough that we don't go crazy, but the backyard makes up for everything the house is missing! Chad has carved awesome trails through the woods for walking and riding the 4-wheelers. Right now the greenery is filling in and makes the trails a beautiful walk.The kids have already gone swimming a few times. They have found some vines and ropes to swing from and practice their "big strokes" in the deeper parts of the creek. I don't know how they stand it, my feet freeze when I step in!

Fishing is another pastime around here. Several nights a week, Chad takes the kids to different fishing holes where they catch a variety of fish and throw them back in. Last night, the kids had a cousin over to entertain. They didn't catch anything but they had a great time!

And the corn crib is the kids' current hideout. They mastermind stories about what happened there years ago and move the old corn cobs around to create a "home".
