My apologies for being a bit behind on the blog. Two weeks back we had our second week of summer and we focused on animals on the farm and fruits on the farm. As mentioned towards the end of my last novel (or previous blog), Vivi had worked hard to earn a bag of ponies which she received along with a new pony shirt she got to sport on our first night leading into farm week. She had LOADS of fun playing with these! Monday we enjoyed early openings at the zoo with our cousin Chloe and Aunt Em. We focused on farm animals there and enjoyed a carosel ride as well. Monday night we enjoyed our first big fruit-watermelon. Warning, you may pass out from the cuteness of these shots! Tuesday we headed to the farm to visit my dad's horse and any other animals we could find. Vivi again sported another new horsie shirt. She picked this one out! Wednesday we headed to the library to get books and watched "Charlotte's Web" with a friend. We also spent some fun times playing in our playhouse full of farm fun (leftover from Isaac's last birthday!) Thursday we ended up laying low as well. I took the kids to the local farmer's market and we got some cherries for our upcoming trip. Then we headed to the mall to cool off and play with some farm toys. Friday I considered taking the kids to a local farm where you can pick your own peaches, but we had lots of packing to do and laundry getting ready to leave on a trip. In addition, God richly blessed us with a nice surprise- a yard full of apricots! We have had a lovely apricot tree in the back that has not produced any fruit in the five years we've lived here until now! We headed out back to pick up two bucket fulls of apricots! In the afternoon, we were joined by our good friends Amelia and Jillian. We enjoyed making the letter "F" with froot loops and played in the sprinklers and of course ate watermelon!! Happy Farmer/Fruit Week!
