Grandpa and Nana's Backyard

While we were in California for my Nana's funeral I really wanted to make sure that I took the time to take Alden out in the backyard of my Grandparent's house.  It may be the last chance he gets to play there and I wanted to make sure that he got to.  I have tons of memories of playing in their backyard as a little girl and I always loved it there.  I was so excited to let Alden swing on the swing and climb the hill, just like I used to do and still love doing.  I am glad I got to at least take my kids out in this backyard a few times and make some memories with them there.

Alden loved swinging!  It is so cute watching him as he tries to figure out how to pump his legs properly as he swings.

I love the picture showing the back of my grandparent's house and Alden on the swing.  The picture shows a view that is so familiar to me and I love all the memories that this view brings back to me.

I loved just looking around the yard and taking in all the beauty that is present there.

It was fun carrying Anders around the yard and swinging with him.

Anders was not too sure about the swing at first but once he had a chain to hold onto he was perfectly content to swing back and forth with me.  We had a great time enjoying the backyard that my Grandpa did so much to design in his lifetime.  I am so grateful for the memories that I have there and the new ones that I got to make with my kids.
