Today's kids have to set up play-dates and compare schedules before getting out and playing with their friends. Many times,the places we have lived, my kids didn't even know the other kids in our neighborhood. When we moved back to MN I craved for that neighborhood where kids were constantly running around together. Where the neighborhood kids were welcome in anyone of their houses! That my kids would have somewhere to begin to build roots and lasting friendships!
After all the time and stress of getting this house I think we have found that neighborhood!
There are kids of all ages running around together...
Jumping on the trampoline
Playing ghost in the graveyard
Jumping in the leaves
Riding scooters up and down the street
When it is raining they come inside to play in the bouncy house and with the Wii or watch movies!
Having lunch at whichever house they are at!
They were even trying to set up the tent one night so they all could have a camp-out!
I'm thinking this is going to be a nice "forever" house! At least for now...
