Hello, my name is James. I live with my wife Amy in an unremarkable, American middle-class home just outside of Dallas, Texas. That is to say, in the middle of a sprawling suburb that you couldn't hope to walk from one end to the other if you had an entire day. But it’s what goes on OUTDOORS that we’re interested in talking about.
First of all, Big B's Backyard Blog is aimed at kids. We created “Big B” to inspire and encourage children to get outside and experience the outdoors. The idea came to us when we realized that our nephews preferred to stay inside with their PSPs, Nintendos, XBoxes, (etc.) as opposed to going outside and “interfacing” with the World around them. When I was young, all of my time was spent outdoors. And it was the same with my friends. It was GREAT! There was always something to do. I still enjoy getting outside today.
I will admit right from the start that we’re not experts, so occasionally we’ll make a mistake. So, if in doubt, do some research! We’re just two people who would like to help our future generation “unplug” a little and see the beauty in the everyday surroundings that we live in.
