Come Sail Away


View from the far side of the creek back towards the house

Our backyard is what childhood dreams are made of, it's what made us buy this house despite a lot of other factors not being exactly dreamy.  Luckily Matt and I both shared the same vision of our someday kids playing in the yard and exploring the stream and woods beyond.  Today that dream is a reality and we love to see the kids running wild in the yard playing more with nature than with toys.  

Returning home after the Ladies Tea with Grandma C we discovered Matt and the kids building boats to float in the stream.  What a perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon at home.  The kids love to set their boat sailing and then scramble back up the bank to chase them downstream.  They also spend a good deal of time fishing in the stream, haven't caught anything yet but you never know.
