Old chatter



This was created last April. It's great to see both Evie and Claire expand their Spanish vocabulary and language structure.

Returning to the farm.



The girls were able to return to the farm today to learn a little about dairy products. Accompanying them was their good friends Allie and Shari. Cheese was on hand to be smelled and touched while butter was being made and served with crackers inside the old farm house. They tried their hand at milking a wooden cow and also were able to milk a goat. Poor goat :}

At the farm



The girls took a little trip to the local public farm while enjoying the summer off. They had fun with the staff at the farm playing with Jacob's ladder, a top, and petting a chicken. Claire was super excited to tell me all about how she was able to pet the chicken. The priceless moment... when I asked if they had any chicken to eat.  Her reply was a very emphatic, "It wasn't a dead chicken".  Silly me.
