My kids have never truly experienced having neighbor kids that they could play with all the time and go back and forth with. They were little when we moved into this house and there have been no other little kids on our street since we moved here 6 years ago. About a year and a half ago, we had the joys of having our best friends close when the Brown's moved into our neighborhood, less than a mile away. What a blessing! Our kids aren't quite old enough to go back and forth on their own, but one day they will for sure!
Then about a year ago, the house directly across the street went up for sale and we prayed for little kids to move in. Our prayers were answered 6 months later when the house finally sold. Turns out, they have 4 little kids and 2 of the boys are the exact ages of my boys. It took no time at all for them to connect and all become best buds. It's such a joy to see them run back and forth and play any chance they get. Not to mention, the parents are awesome and we all enjoy hanging out.
Needless to say, our trampoline and treehouse are used pretty consistently these days and we are loving it! The oldest boy and Easton are playing on the same basketball team now as well.
