End of summer

We had some children's events planned for our church kids this summer. Christian Way Farm is a great place around here that has great spring/summer program. Every year they show how farmers grow food and animals to help make food for the community. This year the theme was, "Who grew your hamburger and fries?" She interacts with the kids and lets them help her teach the lesson. Then they take a hay ride out to see the animals, feed the baby cow and chickens. Barrett wanted nothing to do with the animals. Becca was sick so she didn't get to go. Notice the ketchup next to the tomato plants Waiting to plant some corn Watering the corn

At the end of July, we went to the Jump Zone. We thought we needed an indoor activity so late in July. This was the most relaxing event for us because the kids just play. Becca had swimming lessons. She's really doing well and is as adventurous as always. I probably should learn to swim if I plan on keeping up with her. I never wanted to take both kids to the pool by myself so we didn't go as much as I thought we would this summer. I thought of a great idea by the end of the summer: to take a teenager with me to play with one of the kids so I could keep an eye on the other. Definitely going to remember that next year. Got family pictures taken this summer. We have yet to do a family pic since Barrett's been born. The kids were really good considering several outfit and scenery changes over a couple of hours. Becca did poses first and when it was Barrett's turn, he went over, laid down, propped his hands up, tilted his head, basically did things he saw Becca do, all without prompting. He did really good, a natural.
