[quote=Anonymous] They used it a lot in elementary school for playdates to run around and jump on the trampoline. My back yard was invaluable for their birthday parties, so I could rent a bouncy castle and organize games. Starting from middle school onwards, they haven't used it so much, because they're not the type to throw a ball, contrary to the neighbor kids, who are all in middle school and beyond and play soccer, lacrosse or other ball games in their yards all the time. My husband grows vegetables there now - it's south-facing and receives all the sun he needs. *I* find green space around a house very necessary. I hated living in apartments when I was a child in a crowded European city. I need my privacy, as well as visual separation and distance from neighbors! [/quote]
