I spy a green tomato.
How does our garden grow? With lots and lots of prayers :) This has been our most successful year. This year we have grown corn, green beans, tomatoes and cantalope(which was eaten away at the roots by a gopher and we had seven growing!). We have enjoyed watching it grow and the kids check our tomato plant every day for caterpillars. Now that the summer season is coming to a close we are looking at planting a fall crop soon.
These are the goodies that Paul brought home from Mexico.
First of all take a close look at the picture. Enlarge it if you would like to get a closer look. This was done by Nathan. Pretty good for a kid who hasn't been to school yet, don't you think? This family portrait is actually on his pillow case. He did this during a rest time. Obviously I did not know that he had a pen in stow. When I asked him if he drew the picture so that he could have his family near him, he replied, "No. I did it so I could remember every ones name".
While Paul was gone Garrett and I spent 3 days putting together this 600 piece puzzle. We ate picnic style in the living room and the kids enjoyed seeing the end result.
We started off our summer with swim lessons. Every Friday is safety day as well as a fun day where the kids get to use their swimming skills that they have learned while playing games.
Garrett is the one with the green top.
A fun afternoon watching the boys go through their bike courses. Yummy root beer floats afterwords.
Grandma Pearl sent the kids some fun items for the summer. Kayla and Elsie received fun bags, which they use to put toys in and also are handy for their clothes and towels to be in during swim lessons. Garrett received a binocular. We are planning on bringing those along with us to the Wild Animal Park. Nathan received two Star Wars action figures that he places on top of his dresser each night. Thank you Grandma Pearl !!
Near the end of the school year the school hosts a Fun Day for the kids. There are many stations for the kids to participate in various activities. The kids get to spend about 15-20 min. at each station. Some of the favorites stations are the inflatable slide and obstacle course, bubble blowing with recycled strawberry holders, soda pop holders, and plastic rings. There is also a water cup line race, bouncing ball, and rest stations where snacks and drinks are served. Everyone has a blast each year.
