The neighbors, minus a few
(Andy was having a hard day)
Every day after school we meet up with the neighbor kids on the school playground.
We walk home together on our treelined streets as leaves slowly fall and dance to the ground just in front of us.
It's magical.
After arriving home, the kids drop their bags, get a snack (usually a fresh baked treat from one of the moms- today it was chocolate chip cookies from us) and go out to play until dinner while the moms lounge on patio chairs reading books or chatting, taking turns to go in and work on dinner.
Yeah, it's a good life.
