Spring on the deck

I don't know if I've posted about the deck at my parent's house, but it is a favorite hang out spot. The kids can run and play, there are plenty of chairs/swings, shade from a very resilient globe willow, and it misters for when it's really hot. It was a bit cool this last weekend, but sunny enough to enjoy the deck! (Again, my mother and I are rarely photographed.)

I doubt Babies 'R' Us has a childproof kit for this gate.
Thanks, Wade!

Sadly, it is totally fair in weight.
