Backyard vs. Frontyard


For the first several years as parents our kids were backyard dwellers. This was always loved by us as parents because both our first home and current home have fenced in yards and my kids were all safe and contained. Well, a few years ago the older ones decided that they liked hanging out in the front yard more so they could ride bikes, scooters, hang with other neighbor kids, etc. I HATED this because I love to watch my kids play, and my little kids like to be with the big kids, and I wont let my little kids out front with out me. We have NO front porch, only a front step, so we have spent so many warm nights sitting on a CONCRETE step watching our kids in the front yard rather than sitting on a nice chair on a nice deck in the backyard. Well, last night something wonderful happened. All of our kids, (and a few neighbor kids) decided to hang out in our back yard. Not too sure why, but I don't care. We just enjoyed the moment together....(and we're more comfortable too!)
