Our Great Backyard

When we found this house, one of the biggest attractions for us was the backyard.  Most of the houses that we looked at didn't have a very large yard... our house actually has a nice one.  Unfortunately, we have not used it as much as I had hoped.  Now that the weather is improving, (sporadically,) we're trying to be better about using our own backyard.

A couple of weeks ago we all spent a couple of hours out there and I brought my camera.

Andy has a renewed passion for his bike.  He has been riding it in our backyard and practicing for the trails that he hopes to find soon.

Charlie started riding his bike that day too, but was quickly distracted by his favorite backyard activity - digging.  We let him dig whatever and however he wants in this patch of dirt between the basketball court and our big tree.  This day he was also making flags and forts out of sticks.
Boone loves to come out with us and run around.  He and Charlie like to play with the before mentioned sticks.  Boone is really excited for the day that Charlie learns how to pitch them further than 10 feet.  :)
And Ephram, since it is sunny and he is still too young for sunscreen, enjoys watching it all from the shade of his stroller.
