Summer fun on the farm...oh boy, where do I begin?! Our Spring and Summer is spent mostly
outside. The television is rarely turned
on and supper isn’t ready until sundown (for us adults, at least). It’s a time of year we thoroughly look
forward to...and try to enjoy to its fullest before we hibernate after
harvest...And it is not entirely consumed by tractor rides or late nights in
the field...those days have passed until Fall.
Aside from the regular kid friendly and fun farm duties...there
is an endless amount of fun a kid can have.
With 18.5 acres to explore at our main base, life never gets boring for
our 3 year old and 18 month old! And in
the midst of all the fun they are having...we are always teaching them how to
respect our animals and how to be safe around dad and grandpas equipment...
Our
kids need to know that a combine or tractor is not a jungle gym...though it
seems like it sometimes. Many life
lessons are being taught through the Summer months without them evening knowing
it...especially with our son! The whole
respecting of the farm starts at a very young age...and we can already see the
passion in our sons eyes...It just amazes us.
Our farm can be a child’s
dream world where their imagination can run wild...without restriction (most of
the time)! And you know what the best
part is?...Children that sleep until 8:30 the next day...mom likes that one a
lot!

Enjoyed reading the post! Sounds great!
Your post made me smile! Hannah and Kendal just discovered that the lightening bugs were out! (we might have neglected to tell them when WE first saw them) Now they are out chasing them every chance they get .
