The Wednesday We had an amazing time these past 2 weeks at Keep It Simple Farms. First with the flooding, which got into our boots and was really fun to splash through and play with. We did lots of pretending. We have an ongoing game of family going on. The kids want me to be the youngest with the kids choosing to be mother or father, older brother, grampa etc. Soon it is time for my "nap" and then they spent a lot of time making me "hot chocolate" "chicken noodle soup" and other yummy concoctions from the water that had invaded one of our usual spots.
We spent a lot of time talking about why there was so much water. (everyone remembered the heavy rains of the week before) and watching how differently the water acted. The water was flowing quicker than normal and over the beaver dam and over other big logs in the stream.
When we got to the designated deer sanctuary we found a small log lodged in a tree. Perhaps the Monday group had hauled it there? We moved it over a few feet and voila-it became a teeter totter!
