In my backyard

Well, they say that desperate times call for desperate measures. I guess that would be why we now have a slide and swing on our tiny balcony. It barely fits, but as you can see from the pictures, Adria and Julia sure love it. It has also taught Julia some new phrases. Whenever she looks through the telescope towards Tori's balcony she says, "What see? Geesh!" (For those of you that aren't fluent in Julia, Geesh is what she calls Rachelle). She also says "fast boat" when she plays with the little helm. And her favorite one is "Poose bebe!" (meaning she wants to push Adria in the swing.) Adria giggles so much when Julia pushes her. It just melts my heart to see them playing together! The only drawback is that apparently from the street below it looks like Julia is in danger of falling off, so we've had some very concerned passers-by. But, all in all, it was a great $20 investment. In the 4 days that we've had it, Julia has probably spent 8 hours out there. Awesome!
