Hide CaptionShow CaptionTed and Tami Ries love the thrill of traveling to exotic places, but hate the dangers lurking in their own backyard.
Ted and Tami Ries live in a cozy Spanish-style bungalow in Los Angeles. The couple has traded adventurous travel for adventures in parenting! Now they want to turn their yard into a space that's exotic enough for them, but safe enough for their little girl.
