With his cousins

There were some fine days this week. Oliver got to play in our backyard with his cousins. When we bought the section, our plan was to put grass in all of the backyard but we found out Japanese lawns die completely in winter and need extensive care in the humid hot summer. So in the end we decided to just put gravel down until we move back here to live.

Even with no grass the kids are lucky to have this big empty space to run around and play.
They love playing on the swing but today they found a hole so decided to fix it.

Oliver loves playing golf and pulling the golf bag : )

Hope it won't get too cold so that they can spend lots of time together outside while we are here.
