How does your garden grow?

We decided to have a garden this year.  We planted cucumbers, squash, zucchini, green beans, corn & a roma tomato.  The kids have been lots of help and of course love the results.  

 Helping get the soil ready.  

 Planting her cucumber plant

 Watching Granddaddy tilling the spot for the corn.   And yes that is a dog lot.  It's great to keep critters out.  

 As you can see Charlotte likes to supervise!

 She finally got up and helped out.  

 Then Ellie stole her seat with her dirty garden feet.  

A few week later they were helping Granddaddy fertilize the corn.  

 Is that a ballerina in the garden?  Don't you just love their outfit choices!

   

Tuesday night we got our first cucumbers of the season.  

 They were so excited and daddy got home just in time for them to run and show him their harvest.  

Eating their produce.  

  Are we raising any Future Farmers of America?  

  

Enjoying the weather

Before the weather turns super hot we are enjoying eating dinner outside.

VBS 2013

Tonight we finished up our Vacation Bible School.  The kids have had a blast this week.  This year they went through the rotations just like the big kids.  

During dance time - Evan was break dancing

We were in charge of snacks this year, so we got to see them during snack time.  

Tonight we had the closing ceremony and each group performed a dance.   

The preschool class

I'm sure tomorrow night they will be very upset that we are not going to church.  

"Work"cation

Yes we went back to Magic Kingdom again.  We had to pick up the camper and Matthew had to work.  These kids are spoiled!

 Winding down for the night and riding the carousel one more time.

 We needed a late night snack and went to Gaston's Tavern for a huge cinnamon roll and LeFou's Brew

 This little girl was getting very sleepy, so daddy had to keep her laughing

 And this was the sign they were ready to go.
