A pack of laughing, squealing neighborhood kids frolicked in the Johnsons’ backyard. Some chased each other in wide circles. Some scaled the wooden play structure, and some hung upside down from the parallel bars. It was joyful madness! By noon, the boys and girls were sweaty, exhausted, and ravenous.
