Summertime Fun!

Well, we are attempting this garden thing again! But this time we are doing it right! This was supposed to be done for a summertime garden but as you can see we are behind for that so now it will be for the Fall garden..... we are ahead!! The children are so excited! And it is true, children do eat more vegetables and fruit if they see it come out of the garden and they helped pick it. For us, some of our kiddos would not touch a carrot but our neighbor brought some over with the green stem still on and our kids went nuts to eat it but we had to leave it long with the stem on. Whatever it takes!

And this past weekend we went to the zoo after church. This is always a great time for us. We have a membership for our local zoo and another zoo and aquarium at another city nearby. With the size of our family it pays for itself! WooHooo!
