We went to the Yellow River Ranch last week. It was a one mile walk to look at animals (dear, pigs, goats, ducks, rabbits, etc.) All the animals were very used to people and would come right up to us so we could pet them. Some of the animals were a little aggressive and wanted to be fed but unfortunately we didn’t have any thing to give them.
Jensen’s new phase is to wear “gyubs” or socks on is hands. He likes to pretend to be a garbage man and a few weeks ago he noticed that they were wearing gloves so now he always wants to wear them too. I often wonder what people think is wrong with him when he is at the store or running around the park with socks on this hands. Oh well.
My kids love to “help” in the garden. Really I am tiring to keep them (especially Siesa) from stepping on or digging up the plants. Today we picked sugar snap peas and green beans. One of the best things about having a garden is that not only does it taste oh so good but my kids love to eat the vegetables. I guess there is just something about being able to pick it by yourself that the kids love. A few Sundays ago Derek and the kids were outside for two hours picking and eating sugar snap peas. Yum Hopefully all the other plants will do as well as the green beans and sugar snap peas have. Time will tell.
