One of the first things my husband and I loved about this house was its back yard. It was meant for children to play in, with a lawn, fruit trees, and enclosed swing set play area. Best of all for us was no house towering over us on the other sides of any fences, so it feels really private.
This is the first year that both kids really have played in the yard. I was so happy to see them enjoying it that I grabbed my camera. One of those low-key moments that I hope to look back on for many years to come.
First, James has been using the swing set! The kid who screamed if you tried to get him anywhere near a swing, up until a year ago, is now heading outside several times a day to swing, in his own unique style:
And when he gets bored of that, he and his sister play together in the sand box with purple sand:

My girls love to swing like that too! Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy WW!
That sand box looks like so much fun. Glad he likes the swing now, it's so much fun!!
Oh what fun! Especially purple sand!
Great progress on the use of the swings. Isn't summer just great with the kids?
That's great that he is enjoying the swing set now!
Our kiddo loves to swing like that too! He absolutely loves the sensation of swinging and spinning... good thing his mama does too, otherwise his daddy would be motion sick all the time!
Love the purple sand - where did you get it?!?! :)
My girls love swinging, too. We need your kind of swings, though. I have to buy a new one because they broke one when they turned it the other way because it was dirty and didn't want to sit on it!
Love the purple sand.
