Exploring the Backyard

We are just beginning to enjoy all the great amenities that come with living in a house. Yesterday the girls wanted to explore the backyard while Ben took a nap. I took the opportunity to document this first-time experience.

The colors turned out great! I really like the dark cedar fence combined with the dry grass. It almost seems like they are playing next to an old barn. Sydney and Emma were fascinated with the "flowers" that were growing all over the yard. (ok, they were really weeds, but we won't tell them) They decided to get a bowl and fill it up with this precious commodity.

Doesn't she look so precious?


What a beautiful flower? I think.


"I found MORE!"



"Ring a round the rosies..."


Sisterly Love!

What a spinner?

"I'm falling..."

My cuties!

"On your marks, get set, GO!"

The colors really are great. The last two with the girls on the fence are enlarge and hang on your wall kinds of pictures. Looks like a fantastic back yard. I've been meaning to ask what kind of law your husband practices?
