There was a little boy named Tru Rivers Brown.

The beauty of being a kid…wonder is everywhere. Excitement is found wherever you are. Surprise abounds. I’ve lived in this house for 13 years and only in the past 3 years have I ventured into the back yard. Because of you, Tru, it’s now our playground. You beckon me in and I follow. I follow you into this imaginary world. An imaginary world where anything is possible.

Where we hide from enemies in our base. Weapons ready, we attack.

P1060924

Where Lilu is no longer your dog, but an outer space invader that has landed on our planet. We must capture her. We must protect the people. (Although, sometimes she is a rescue bot helping us fight the monsters. She goes along with whatever. She doesn’t much care, as long as she’s included.)

“Mama, look! I can’t believe I’m walking in a tree!”

P1060933

Where spaces between trees are not spaces between trees at all, but secret passages. And no one can see us.

P1060896

Where we jump and jump and jump and try to touch the sky.

P1060900

Or ride Lilu. She’s such a good sport.

P1060901

P1060903

P1060904

Where you are the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

P1060906

P1060908

Where the trampoline is our spaceship and if we jump off, we land on another planet.

P1060936

Where grass is amazing and fascinating.

I never knew our backyard was so full of fun. Thanks for the adventure, Tru!

I love you too much!
