Farm Girls

 We were studying horses for preschool, so what better way to learn about a horse than to go a visit a few. A friend from church runs a horse farm near us and graciously allowed us to come and meet her beautiful horses. After an introduction we had the pleasure of exploring the farm for a bit. It was one of those beautiful days that remind us why we live here!

Wide Open Spaces.... this is what this girl needs!

Flowers for Mamma.

Now that is a Cat Fish!

Just seconds after this picture was taken a "boy Cow" jumped out of the bushes right in front of Rosemary.  I yelled stop and both Rosemary and the cow listened to me. Rory carefully retrieved Rosie. She retold that story for months. 

Stargazing

Cecily and Daddy trying to get a look at the early evening moon.

 Tuesday nights have become our family fun nights. We eat personal pizzas and do something special, like play games or go for a walk. This past Tuesday the weather was fair so we ate our pizzas outside. Our theme this week for our home school curriculum was the moon. So Rory set up the telescope and the girls got to take a good look.

Kisses underneath the moon!

I see the moon!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

What could be better than flying a kite in the spring? We really don't know?! I snagged these kites for $1.50 each and we took them down to the very windy Penrose Point. We had a very fun time watching them set sail! It was great to get some fresh air and some sunshine...even though it wasn't very warm at all!

Rosie really likes fish!

Cecily was doing some pretty fancy moves with her kite!

It was a little tricky keeping the kite out of the tree!

Rosie enjoyed some independent time walking along the trail by herself. All within our sites of course!

Before heading back home, we took a little time to dig in the sand!

Cecily found all sorts of treasures!

Farm-tastic

We spent a Farm-tastic day on our favorite farm on my Birthday weekend. One of my birthday presents was that Rory took control of the camera on our outing and I made sure that we got some pictures of me. So when the girls are all grown up we will have proof that I was around in the family album...that's if I ever get our pictures printed and put into an album. But anyway, three cheers for Rory, I think this is a sweet picture.
