Crafty Little People

I love seeing what my children figure out.  They seem to always be creating something new.  This week I had many crafty children.  A couple things not caught on camera included letters to "Miss. Whale" with pictures of whales and it snowing in the house.

Straight from the Garden

My kids enjoy eating food straight from the garden.  They like it all...rhubarb, peas, beans, and even green onions.  As long as they can pick it they like to eat it up yum!  I haven't posted much about my garden this year, that is because I have neglected it a bit.  However, we still have a wonderful garden with great food in it! Some of the food we did last year and some is new food we are trying.  It's fun to watch things grow.

Water, Water, and More Water

Today's activities included...water, water and more water! 

We first went on a hike/walk with Sister's family to some water at Bridal Veil Falls.

Then went swimming at Papa and Grandma's home (no pictures sorry!) 

 After that we got a rope fish and clam for our water at home!
