we live in one of the suburbs in the ellenbrook area, where housing is plentiful and backyards are small. i was so hesitant to buy our house, because of the teeny backyard... but my husband dutifully pointed out that we had a huge garden, the park directly across the road from us. it's true. backyards are mostly small, but there is a park on almost every block. they are everywhere!
there are of course, some bigger ones with fancy as play equipment... and a few weeks back one of those opened just by dougs parents house. we finally got to go there today with the pinker crew and even though it was freeeeezing outside with an arctic wind and the sun made an appearance for approximately 8.73 seconds the entire time we were there, the kids had a great time. they climbed the jungle tower to the big slide (i must admit my heart was in my mouth watching my little joseph doing it) and once they got to the top (it's very high!) madeline without being asked, quickly sat behind joseph and held onto him as they went down. i was so proud of her, she's such a good big sister!
life in ellenbrook is good. the days and flying by and we are loving every one ♥
