My kids never go in our backyard. Some days, I have to force them out the door. While I’d like to blame the hot weather out here (we are in AZ after all), I can’t help but think it might be because there isn’t much going on back there. Well, we are about to move to a new house, and I am determined to make good use of it. My goal is to create a backyard that my children can’t resist playing in!
