My backyard

My backyard is a great place to be;
Where my friends and family come and play with me.
My backyard is big, not too small;
There is an acre and a half, we own it all!
My dad built a tree house that's really quite fun;
I get to play in it when my chores are all done.
A rock climbing wall, slides and a tunnel too;
There are so many fun things to do.
We have a pool that's deep and wide;
It has a jacuzzi and a slide.
Our backyard also has a skate park;
With lights and half pipes for after dark.
There are so many awesome things to do;
You will have to visit it too.
