Eating apples on the deck enjoying some sun!
The deck is our new favorite place. I absolutely love having an attached deck that the kids can play on while I’m cleaning or making lunch or just sitting in the kitchen. Levi’s favorite activity is opening and closing the screen door… which is fine now, but won’t be as fun when the bugs all come back. Hopefully he’ll have moved on to something else by then. 😉
We added a gate at the top of the deck steps outside so they Littles can play out there without my worrying that they’ll fall down the steps or get into mud or any other fun things available in the yard. That gate is wonderful. I love it. Plus, as a bonus it will work for dogs, so someday (not anytime soon, so don’t get your hopes up) when we perhaps get another dog, it will be nice.
Isn’t it funny how the things we love most about our houses change over time? I suppose it makes sense since the things that you’re using on a regular basis will change as they get older.
Oh, yes, I can see how you would really appreciate having the deck for them to play out on. And it is such a nice big one! The gate sounds like a perfect addition, too.
