Disneyland Belgrade

Scott looked around at his parents' backyard one day and named it "Disneyland Belgrade."  I don't think the description is far off; his parents have either kept or accumulated a lot of entertainment for the grandkids.  But don't be fooled into thinking it's all for the kids!

First, there's the pool - a perennial favorite.  Someday I'll make a book of all of the pictures I've taken over the years of Scott throwing kids into the water.

Then there's the trampoline; fun in and of itself, but when you put it right next to the pool...

The days may be hot, but the nights are cold in this part of the country, so the pool doesn't get as warm as some would like.  Which leads to warming up in the hot tub!

Not intended for the kids' entertainment is Grandpa's fountain.  But try telling Charlie that!

If you're too small to accurately swing a club, lining the balls up and/or throwing them towards the target/hole can be fun too.

Don't forget the good 'ol swingsets (yes, there are two) and the teeter-totter:

The cheese master!

 Add in the power wheels Barbie jeep that Maryn got years ago, and the fun is almost over the top!

Zach thought it might go faster in the church parking lot across the street.

Squirt gun fights for the, ahem, kids:

And of course, the classic: the slip 'n slide:

 Not enough water fun for you?  How about this ginormous inflatable water slide?

 Whew.  A lot of fun to be had.  And good spots to relax too...
