backyard wonderland

when i hear the words "mommy, i don't want to go home" come out of jaxon's mouth every time i pick him up after work, i don't take offense.  what kid wouldn't love this backyard at my parents' house. 

there's like 3 different ponds,

with tons of fish.

different views of the pond

he loves climbing up on the bridge, i hate it-there's no railing!  swimming lessons are in order-like yesterday!

{oh yeah, they also have a pool, which he is obsessed with}

what i love...the herb gardens.  cilantro pictured below.

here's what i picked the other day:  cilantro, basil, chives, parsley, & thyme.

they also grow tons of veggies in their expansive garden, which i love as well!

random question though...what's up with the shrooms.  they are everywhere

{and they were not planted}
