So now that we have thick, luxurious grass… grass soft and lush enough to frolic barefoot… guess where the kids play? Huh? Take a guess…
That’s right! In the one dirt patch in the corner of the yard!
The dirt patch, or this…
The gravel patch in the other corner.
The gravel patch with a high voltage power box, perfect for climbing and hanging out.
I like to encourage wild, irresponsible, even dangerous play in my yard. My yard that, judging from these photos, looks like something from a very untidy, unkempt crack trailer park. In actuality, our yard is very beautiful… at least the part of the yard that is completely uninhabited by children.

Ha ha ha! Kids. It’s like when you get them an awesome gift and they play with the box.

This is why we haven’t bothered with grass in our yard. Right now I don’t really care if my kids dig big holes in my yard. They can play however they want back there and I don’t have to worry about them trashing anything.
