This picture sums up what my childhood looked like. 

The backyard was my sister and I's paradise! It could be anything we wanted it to be! I have such wonderful memories of the all the fun pretend games we would play as the golden light shone through the green leaves...and now, the backyard is my youngest sister and brother's play world. But every once and a while you can find me out there reliving childhood memories with them! :)
