My Photos (W/E 9-11-10)

These photos were taken last weekend at my cousin's house. They have a beautiful backyard with lots of room for children to run around and play. Her husband had built a well-constructed play structure, which includes a little fort at the very top. Last time we visited, our twin preschoolers could not master climbing up the ramp with the rope railings, but this time, they were able to follow their big brother's lead.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photos this week! If you'd like to play along or see more great photos, stop by to see Lotus a.k.a. Sarcastic Mom.
