I built a fun, cost-effective backyard for my kids. It's helping us save money by avoiding family summer vacations.
Briefly

The article highlights a family's efforts to transform their backyard into a vibrant entertainment space for their children, avoiding costly day trips or vacations. They have created an area with a playset, chicken coop, and garden, engaging the entire family in its upkeep and enjoyment. The children participate actively in activities like planting and caring for the garden, while the chicken coop not only provides fresh eggs but also serves as a play area for the kids. The backyard has become a creative and economical recreational hub.
We have a play area, a chicken coop, a garden, a playset, and sometimes a water slide. Now, we don't have to spend money on day trips or larger family vacations.
Our chicken coop and garden benefit the whole family. We've had our chickens for over two years, and they still lay eggs daily; we enjoy eating them or giving them away to friends.
The kids have a ninja course - a birthday gift from their friends – and it’s a great way for them to stay active.
We've spent hours working on the backyard, making it more fun and functional. It's a growing work in progress that my two kids, neighbors, and I can all enjoy together.
