The Farm

We spend 5 days on a farm. A real live farm. Though they sold all their cattle 2 weeks ago, it still smelt like a real farm. (ha! ha!) The kids got to collect eggs twice a day, feed the chickens leftover scraps and feed, go on adventure walks, hunt for toads, run through the irrigation ditches, play in the cedar trees and slop through all the rain puddles in their mud boots. There was not much to pick in the greenhouses, but they did consume an abundance of apples from the Kuhn's orchard. The most exciting part of the trip for the kiddos? Jumping on the trampoline. A neighbor had given them this trampoline last year and novelty has not worn off. If we could not find Luke, all we would have to do is look out toward the trampoline. Every time, that child was standing there waiting to be hoisted up so he could start jumping.

Everyone played together quite nicely, most of the time. They are all 1 year apart: Nana, 6; Cooper, 5; Natalie, 4; Jacinta, 3; and Luke, 2. It will be fun to see them all grow up together!
