We live in a 10-home cul de sac. All ten families moved into the brand new homes within three months of each other and we had a total of 23 children.
During the warmer weather there was a continuous game of roller hockey that consisted of every child who could skate. The older children were not only kind but help the younger children learn how to play. The sounds of children playing from sun up to sun down was so very satisfying and we all loved it.
My Grandchildren take up more than 50% of that 23...
I have 12... They all live on kid friendly streets too.
I terrorize them every chance I get and couldn’t live without them. :)
