We started at our garden plot and picked our beautiful kohlrabi, graciously donated to me as a small seedling from a friendly garden neighbour. We picked a few precious tomatoes and checked out our pumpkins. We then peeked into our slug traps (a sugary-yeast mixture) and found 3 slugs. This was both fascinating and gross for the children.
We wandered down the path to go check out the new playground construction. We discussed the fact that the playground is not built yet and it will be manymanymanymanymanymanymanymany sleeps until it is ready! The slide was put in just yesterday!
We then had a crazy picnic on the grass. Crazy because we were on the "prickly" grass and the children didn't quite know how to react. We brought the pears we had picked last week and cut them up to slather in "THE dip". Honestly we could not cut fast enough-children were begging for pears and kohlrabi. Then, a hill was found ( running up and down at very fast speeds-I am happy to report there were no falls), blackberries picked and a meander down a lovely path where Chloe made leaves into "fairy wings" and Lukas said he smelled "a hyena and a rattlesnake." Suddenly, a quick look at the time and we realized we had parked in the far parking lot and we really needed to use our "very very fast walking feet"- maybe that might suggest running?
so so so much fun!
