Well our house faces north and in a new development with young trees - that equals no shade. We found some refuge in a nice screen porch! While Abigail's slide still gets hit with the west setting sun, we repurposed our patio swing umbrella to cover up the slide so it stays cool on those hot summer days! We are looking forward to some great family time out on the porch!! Matt is already sketching out some built-in storage benches which will provide extra seating and more storage! Woo-hoo! I'm excited too that our little herb and veggie garden just might do better this year in this nice shady area! I already planted broccoli, spinach, lavendar and oregano and Abigail loves to water them!
Here's a pic of our first dinner in the porch!

Here's the view from the playset with the patio umbrella ready to cover the slide!
Abigail learned how to open and close the door so she's happy about that! :)
We left some space for the BBQ and fire pits!
