We live in the country on 10 acres on top of a mountain. It's gorgeous and we have lots of privacy. We love it. Across the road is a pond and pasture with pretty little miniature ponies. To our left is a beautiful horse farm. On our right, on 20 acres, is my sister and family ( husband, 2 bio adult kids and 5 adopted kids 17 and under who are african-american). The road we live on is a dead-end road about 1 1/2 miles long with only 6 neighbors. It's a relatively quiet area with little traffic. Our kids have the whole outdoors at their disposal. Between our two families, we have enough for just about any sport or game they want to play.

In the fall, one of their favorite sports is what we call "hillbilly sledding". Today was perfect for it. They each found a large piece of cardboard. They moved about to different hills and slid or surfed down in the leaves or pinestraw. It's hillarious! They have a blast. We don't get much snow here so this is second best. I'll try to get some pictures next weekend when they go to the big hill on the back of our property.
