Field trip to the apple farm and a little reflection

This week the girls also went on a field trip to an apple farm not far from us.  It is in Oak Glen.  Here is a picture of the girls petting a newborn baby chick.

Listening to a prairie story

Hearing about what it is like to live in a one room house.

Stepping over so that they can plant their corn

Waiting outside the little store while Mommy buys an apple pie.

  It always amazes me how Lily just goes along with what we are doing and just accepts it.  How strange it must be when you think about it all.  She must wonder what this is all about.  She must wonder why I have taken her to this place and what it all means.  She just goes along with the flow.  I think she trusts us.  She is very loving and always says she loves us and gives us many kisses. It is like she has been starved for this affection and just can't get enough of it.  We had heard that some children have a hard time with the touching and kissing, but she loves it.
