My 2 big kids each have a best friend at school who happen to be brother and sister. The love to play at their house since their backyard offers much more opportunity to get dirty and wet than ours does! There is a large stream and paths that wind through the woods. Two visits ago they led us along the path to the most amazing neighbor's yard. 
They have fixed up their yard almost like a community nature park, with swings, bridges, hammocks, a sand box, etc. We were welcome to come play, and after flying for a while on swings suspended from tree limbs 20 feet high, everyone descended into the creek to run, splash, climb logs, search for salamanders, and explore a huge dam. They said they were "saving the beavers." We went back to their house last week for another round of saving the beavers. It was chilly and rainy this time, so I didn't have to drag the kids away when it was time to go, but they still had great fun. EB played at a neighbor's house all morning, so I got to bring the camera on our walk through the woods. I have a feeling we'll be spending much of our summer out there!
