Backyard Park

Since all the parks are closed my mom and dad sent us a little slide for our backyard. My three year old calls it her “backyard park” It’s not quite as exciting as the parks we were used to going to but kids are so good at finding joy in the small things. I learn from her everyday to appreciate what we have instead of what has been taken away during this time of pandemic.
