    We bought a modest playset in the backyard. It cost a lot but the value of having kids play outside when we can’t orchestrate a trip to the park yet keep them away from screens while we can get stuff done around the house is priceless

      A huge selling point when we bought our house was that it had a nice wooden playground in the back. Our daughter was 3 when we bought it and we got a good 8 years of use out of that playground. It wasn’t the only reason we got the house by any means, but it definitely was one of the factors.

        My daughter is almost 3! Little man just turned 6. They love it. Never thought I’d be that guy with something like that in the backyard but now I understand.
