The clubhouse

This is a picture of the boys ‘club house’. One of Jameson, Caleb and Colston’s favorite things to do is climb over the back wall to the paseo- which is walkway that is also used as a place for water to go in a flash flood- (something you have to think about when living in the desert) and work on building their clubhouse . One of the best things about where our home is located is that instead of having a house behind ours we have a short wall and then the paseo that opens to a landscaped walkway where I often see jack rabbits hopping across in the early morning. In fact, Caleb keeps trying to talk me into catching one for him to keep as a pet! A short walk down the paseo opens up into the desert where a park is supposed to be built sometime this year. For now, the future park is just a desert, but just as fun for little boys looking for something to explore or build, like a ‘club house’. Basically, the boys all find whatever scraps the construction workers have left around after building houses and bring them together in a big pile of dirt and play until the sun goes down. I love it because first of all they love it and there are no cars or streets to worry about… plus, it’s close to home. The only downside is it makes for more laundry and more baths, but it’s worth it!
