Living in Utah and Having a Yard

Amelia is very taken with our new yard. It isn't really that big, but it serves as a stark contrast to our New York apartment on the fifth floor with no grass anywhere in sight. This is my typical view from the living room at any waking hour of the day:

 

On this particular day it happened to be raining lightly and the babes was pretty sure rain gutters were invented for her to soak her shoes under.

 

 

Her other favorite yard activity is driving in her car; or rather being pushed around in her "truck" as she calls it. We're outside playing in her car every day, pushing Amelia all over the driveway and back patio while she honks the horn and shouts "beep beep!" I guess she learned that one in New York, 'cause I never taught her that.

 

And the last thing Meli-buttons has discovered the yard is good for is hosting parties. She loves for Grandma and Grandpa to come over and bring their dog (Uncle Ernie) who isn't allowed in the house.

 

 

 

Being back in Utah has reminded me of all the things I love about the place I grew up and it's fun to be where I can let my child play outside barefoot and run through grass. Enjoy it while it lasts baby girl, who knows where we'll be next year?
