Here is our park....oh, I mean our backyard! It's HUGE!!! I even have my own shed for gardening stuff...woo woo, and Austin has his own playground!! We are in the process of putting up a vertical extension of our fence to discourage the dogs from jumping the fence after squirrels, rabbits, other dogs, birds, the leaf that floated by just right....we're both REALLY looking forward to being able to let the dogs out and not have to wonder whether we're going to have to go chase them down the street.

One other amazing thing is our location. We're centrally located to everything we'd want to be, are 4 miles from Mom and Dad, and our street dead ends at River Bends Park....an ENORMOUS park that is the flagship of the Shelby Township Parks and Rec Dept. It's the biggest public free park for a looong way. And, we live 0.25 miles from it!! They have a river, nature center, skate park, basketball courts, baseball fields, sledding hills, playgrounds, frisbee golf courses...all for free!! If I could have hand-picked our location I couldn't have done any better.
