The Farm

It's been a few weeks since the last post, for two reasons... 1) We are rarely home because we've been enjoying this beautiful springtime, and 2) Jack has been monopolizing the computer playing online games.

He loves PBS Kids games, so I set up an account for him on the laptop. His favorites are Curious George, Caillou, and the Dragonfly games. The Dragonfly stuff is actually well over his head, but the computer has enormous patience for his endless trial and error.


Here are some pictures from a recent trip to Terhune Orchards, which Jack calls "the farm." We had such a nice time that day. We walked the trail through the woods, fed the goats, played on the tractor, and of course visited the store for apples and cookies. We saw a bunch of turtles, a couple of dozen who zipped into the water with surprising speed when they heard us coming. We also walked by the bare cherry trees and noticed the seeds of last year's fruit on the ground. We're all looking forward to this year's Pick and Read series.
